ITEM EXPLANATION:
The County of San Diego received funds from the US Department of Justice, Office of Justice

multi-jurisdictional partnership to respond to violent crime and gangs. The grant funds overtime
costs to conduct at least 24 suppression operations and 2 trainings through March 31, 2009. The
cost for Carlsbad is estimated to be $70,722.
FISCAL IMPACT:

March 31, 2009 are fully funded by the Edward Byrne Memorial Discretionary Grants Program
through the County of San Diego.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

not constitute a "project" within the meaning of CEQA and therefore, does not require an
environmental review.
