RECOMMENDED ACTION:
City Council adopt Resolution No. 2006-318 accepting the Justice Assistance Grant
funds and appropriating the funds to support various police department functions.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program allows states and local
governments to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime and to improve
the criminal justice system. The JAG Purpose Areas include 1) Law enforcement programs; 2)
Prosecution and court programs; 3) Prevention and education programs; 4) Corrections and
programs; 5) Drug treatment programs; and 6) Planning, evaluation, and technology improvement
programs.
Carlsbad's 2006 one-time award based on the City's share of FBI Part 1 Violent Crimes as a
proportion of the state's total is $14,856, plus a local match of $1,651 from asset forfeiture for a
total of $16,507. These federal funds must be used to supplement existing funds for program
activities and cannot replace or supplant local funds. In addition, any interest earned must be
added to the project and spent for project purposes; interest is estimated to be $600 for a total
program-funding amount of $17,107 for eligible projects/programs. The Police Department
proposes that the grant be used to fund 1) Motor Officer Wireless Headsets ($6,507); and 2)
Proxy device for redundant connectivity to county ($10,600). These proposed purchases comply
with the requirements of the grant.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total program cost is $17,107; $14,856 would come from the block grant award. The required
cash match of $1,651 would be appropriated from the police asset forfeiture fund. An additional
$600 is estimated for interest earned.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
None
