Description

San Bruno City Council Meeting February 8, 2011
8b. Citizen's Option for Public Safety Funds

A

Our second item in public hearing is hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution approving requests for citizens option for public safety funds in the amount of one hundred thousand dollars for 2010-2011 Jacob good.

B

Evening, honorable mayor members of the City Council Neil Telford, your police chief in 1996, Assembly, Bill 3229, implemented the citizens option for public safety or the cops program. The program appropriated state funds to supplement local law enforcement for enhancing frontline police services. The amount available for fiscal year 2010-2011 is $100,000.

B

Part of the requirements for cops funding is a written request from the chief of police to identify the frontline needs of the law enforcement agency and to hold the public hearing since 2001, the department has identified a need for a traffic officer to supplement its law enforcement services to the community, and we have dedicated the cops funding to that position since that time tonight, I'm making that same recommendation traffic enforcement in the related duties are critical to providing law enforcement services to this community.

B

The traffic officer position enhances the department's ability to respond to traffic complaints, enforce traffic laws and investigate traffic collisions. The request and recommendation before you tonight will allow cops funding to continue to be devoted to maintain the traffic officer that we have in our current budget. That concludes my presentation. I'll be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have any questions of the chief through.

C

The chair, my understanding and chief, is that this is good for the 2010-2011 budget. $100,000, that's what it's going to reimburse for the parking enforcement officer for the traffic officer. Yes, you are correct. So does the governor have any proposals to eliminate this process in the next budget or if the measures that the governor's putting on the ballot fail? Could that jeopardize this funding for future? Yes,.

B

You are correct. The cops program is funding through the VLF or vehicle license fee that the governor is trying and that will sunset in june. The governor is trying to to extend that through legislation or potentially put it on the ballot. But if that does not come to pass, then yes, that traffic officer position is in jeopardy. Okay, thank you. I mean.

A

The questions that achieve all right this time, we'll open the public hearing at anyone in the public like to address the council on this issue. Once again, I remind you if we close the public hearing, you're precluded from speaking on this again moved close pebble carry second motion. Second, all in favor aye, any additional questions, comments or action go.

C

Ahead and introduce a resolution for adoption, please.
