Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: The allocation and funding for the .45 FTE Deputy District Attorney was established in the FY 08/09 budget. This funding will reduce the net county cost for the District Attorney's office by ($62,268.53)
Background: The Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF) provides State funds for "front line law enforcement needs" and there is no local match requirement. This program was established in FY 1996-97 under AB3229. The distribution of funding is as follows: 12.5% to County Sheriff for jail construction and operational needs, 12.5% to District Attorney for criminal prosecution and 75% for law enforcement.
Reason for Recommendation: The legislation that created the "COPS Programs" requires the Board conduct a public hearing that is "separate and apart" from the adoption of the regular County budget. This agenda item accomplishes that requirement.
Action to be taken following Board approval: The Board will approve the District Attorney's requested spending plan. Once approved a journal entry will be forwarded to the Auditor's office to transfer the funds from the special revenue account into the District Attorney's operating budget.
