Re: 2002 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Funds - Public Hearing
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this memorandum is to request a public hearing regarding the
acceptance of the 2002 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant award.
BACKGROUND:
At the June 17, 2002 Dubuque City Council meeting approval was given to the 2002
Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) application. The LLEBG Program was
created in May 1996 and is a program within the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA).
The purpose of the program is to assist local units of government with grant funds to
reduce crime and improve public safety through seven purpose areas. Those areas
include: support law enforcement, enhance security measures, establish or support
drug courts, enhance adjudication of cases involving violent offenders, establish
multijurisdictional task forces, establish community crime prevention programs to
control, detect, investigate crime, or prosecute criminals, and defray cost of
indemnification insurance for law enforcement officers.
The FY2002 funding formula has determined Dubuque is eligible to receive $31,163, a
10% reduction due to an ongoing exception requiring agencies to provide same or
better level of health insurance benefits for officers retired or separated from service
due to personal injury suffered as a direct or proximate result of action in the line of duty
while responding to a hot pursuit or emergency situation. As with prior years, a ten
percent local cash match is also required to receive these funds. Based upon this
year's allocation, the local cash match is $3,463.
DISCUSSION:
As a result of our 2002 Local Law Enforcement Block grant application, we have
received notification our application was approved in the amount of $31,163 with a local
cash match of $3,463. As part of the acceptance, a public hearing is held to receive
comments regarding the award. Our intention is to use the funds coupled with the cash
match amount in the following areas:
Overtime $15,000
Crime Prevention $ 5,500
Equipment $14,126
TOTAL $34,626
ACTION REQUESTED:
We request a public hearing before the Dubuque City Council to receive any comments
and to fulfill the acceptance requirements for the 2002 Local Law Enforcement Block
grant award. Additionally, we request that the funds be recorded as a budget
amendment and be assigned an activity number.
