Description

San Bruno City Council Meeting October 25, 2011
8. Public Hearing Approve Request for Citizen's Option for Public Safety Funds

A

Item number eight: we do have a public hearing this evening, an older public hearing and adopt a resolution approving requests for citizens option for public safety funds for fiscal year 2011-12 the amount of one hundred thousand dollars for traffic enforcement home to play.

B

Around g4 good evening, honorable mayor members of the City Council in 1996, Assembly, Bill 3229 implemented the citizens option for public safety or the cops program program, appropriated state funds to enhance frontline Police Services part of the requirements for cops funding is to a written request from the chief of police to identify the frontline needed the law enforcement agency in to hold the public hearing since 2001, the department has identified the need for a traffic officer to supplement its law enforcement services to the community, and we have dedicated the cops funding to that position.

B

For the past ten years tonight, I'm making the same recommendation. Traffic enforcement in the related duties are crucial to providing law enforcement services to the community and the traffic offer officer position enhances the department's ability to respond to traffic complaints, enforce traffic laws and investigate traffic collisions as you'll. Remember in 2009 cops funding was questionable duty uncertainties in the state budget. Last year cops funding was received without incident.

B

However, this year cops funding was again at risk and we found out late in the game that cops funding was going to be instituted, I'm, not sure what we're going to experience next year, but I can tell you that that traffic officer is crucial for us to provide police services to this community. The request and recommendation before you tonight will allow cops funding to continue to be devoted to maintained one traffic officer included in our budget. That concludes my presentation will be happy to answer any questions that you have any questions.

Chief, real quick, we'd already budgeted this item, and now the grant funds are working. There was a concern that they may not be available, but obviously they are available. Correct.

Therefore, we'd already budgeted and now this money will offset that said, we're not offset it, but am I incorrect.

C

It's been in there.

D

You're correct, we budgeted the position apparently, according to the finance director, we did not budget grant funds. So this we were, as you would may recall, very conservative in our budgeting and since the availability of the grant was still uncertain at the time of our budget preparation and approval. That Grant is not shown in the budget. Thank.
