SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. ,20
Meeting Date: November 6,2006
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Adopt a resolution approving the 2006-2007 Citizens' Option for Public Safety (COPS) grant
funding program, Resolution No. 06-
BACKGROUND
The 2006 Budget Act provided $200 million in General Fund monies in 2006-07 to eligible local
jurisdictions, as defined, for public safety purposes. Of this amount, $100 million is allocated to
the Citizens' Option for Public Safety (COPS) program and $100 million is allocated to counties
for specified juvenile justice programs.
USE OF FUNDS
Cities are required to appropriate COPS revenues to fund front line municipal police services.
This can include anti-gang and community crime prevention programs. The funds are to be
appropriated pursuant to a written request from the Chief of Police or the Chief Administrator of
the law enforcement agency that provides police services for that city. Capt. Terry Calderone has
requested that the $104,792 be used to fund a second School Resource Officer for the 2006-07
school year. The Fremont Union High School District and Cupertino Union School District have
each contributed $10,000 to cover the remaining expense for the second officer.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the sheriffs request for the expenditure of COPS
funds.
