Staff Report REQUEST: REQUEST FOR ACCEPTANCE OF 2008/09 CAL COPS (SUPPLEMENTAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES FUNDING/SLESF) GRANT AWARD IN THE AMOUNT OF APPROXIMATELY $100,000 SUBMITTED BY: Sheila R. Gilligan, ACM/Community Services DATE: November 20, 2008 RECOMMENDATION: By Minute Motion, accept the Cal COPS (Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Funding/SLESF) Grant Award of approximately$100,000 to be used to cover the cost for the 2008 Holiday Theft Suppression Program and the acquisition of necessary equipment to support front line law enforcement services. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City of Palm Desert is eligible to receive approximately $100,000 in Cal COPS (Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund/SLESF) Grant funding for Fiscal Year 2008/09. Approval of this request will allow staff to move forward in securing these funds. As required by law, a public hearing was scheduled for consideration of this item(Notice of Public Hearing and copy of Government Code Section 30061 are attached). BACKGROUND: Because of the loss of time in approving the State Budget, the City has just received unofficial notification that its Cal COPS funding has been approved in the amount of approximately$100,000. The Palm Desert Police Department would like to implement the CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT NOVEMBER 20, 2008 RE: REQUEST FOR ACCEPTANCE OF 2008/09 CAL COPS(SUPPLEMENTAL U4W ENFORCEMENT SERVICES FUNDING/SLESF) GRANT AWARD IN THE AMOUNT OF APPROXIMATELY $100,000 Holiday Theft Suppression Program during the 2008 holiday season starting on Friday, November 28, 2008, and concluding on Friday, January 2, 2009. The purpose ofi this program will be to conduct high visibility patrol in retail and commercial areas of the City, including the Highway 111 business corridor, EI Paseo business district, WestField Shoppingtown Palm Desert, and any other appropriate business complexes. This program will include high visibility patrol in adjoining residential areas of the locations listed above, proactive citizen contacts, and the issuance of moving and parking citations as well as verbal warnings. Deputies assigned to the program will handle radio calls for routine reports and arrests, particularly calls involving theft and other business related crimes in the focus areas, and will enforce on-site violations of any nature. The program will also include one patrol vehicle to provide extra patrol in the Costco and WalMart complexes. It is expected that this program will cost approximately$30,000 for approximately 600 hours of extra patrol services, which would be totally funded by the requested grant monies. Since the City of Palm Desert is eligible for approximately $100,000 in grant funding, the remaining $70,000 would be dedicated to necessary equipment purchases to assist the Police Department in its efforts to prevent and combat crime (i.e., computers, technology, and support equipment for patrol, traffic, and special teams'staff as approved by the City). At its meeting of November 12, 2008, the Palm Desert Public Safety Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council accept the Cal COPS Grant award in the amount of approximately$100,000 to be used to cover the cost for the 2008 Holiday Theft Suppression Program and the acquisition of necessary equipment to support front line law enforcement services. 2 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT NOVEMBER 20, 2008 RE: REQUEST FOR ACCEPTANCE OF 2008/09 CAL COPS(SUPPLEMENTAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES FUNDING/SLESF) GRANT AWARD IN THE AMOUNT OF APPROXIMATELY $100,000 The Holiday Theft Suppression Program has proved most beneficial to residents, visitors, and businesses in the City of Palm Desert in past years. Therefore,staff recommends that the City Council approve the recommendation of the Palm Desert Public Safety Commission and accept the Cal COPS Grant award of approximately $100,000. The official notification of the grant approval is expected to be received the first part of December, 2008. If for any reason the City were not to receive the grant, funding for the 2008 Holiday Theft Suppression Program would come from the Palm Desert Police budget. � , r � SHEILA R. GILLIGAN PAUL S.
