RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO SUBMIT AN
APPLICATION FOR A VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN GRANT
TO THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,
AND TO EXECUTE ALL RELATED GRANT DOCUMENTS
WHEREAS, from 1994 to 1995, the City of National City experienced a 37
percent increase in domestic violence cases; and
WHEREAS, experience has shown that quick follow-up and arrest is particularly
important in domestic violence cases, because it significantly reduces the chance of suspects
committing additional violent acts against the victims on other members of their families; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Violence Against Women Grant would fund the salary
and benefits for a senior police officer, as well as a police vehicle, to be assigned to the
domestic violence detective, thereby permitting swift follow-up in domestic violence cases.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
National City that the City Manager is hereby authorized to submit a Violence Against Women
Grant to the United States Department of Justice, and to execute all related grant documents.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 10th day of September, 1996.
