RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO TRANSFER ITS SHARE OF
FY 1999/2000 JUVENILE ACCOUNTABILITY INCENTIVE
BLOCK GRANT FUNDS TO THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO
WHEREAS, the Federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
(OJJDP) has made Accountability Incentive Block Grant funds available through the California
Office of Criminal Justice Planning (OCJP); and
WHEREAS, the San Diego region will obtain a total of $1.1 million to be
distributed proportionately to the various law enforcement agencies based on a formula using
law enforcement expenditures and crime arrest data for each unit of local government; and
WHEREAS, the FY 1999/2000 allocation for the City of National City is
$25,348, with a cash match of $2,820; and
WHEREAS, there are several purpose areas established by OJJDP for the
spending of the allocated money; and
WHEREAS, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors has proposed that each
local entity transfer their share of the funds to the County of San Diego who would meet the ten
percent cash match requirement for each agency; and
WHEREAS, last year National City and nine other cities committed their JAIBG
allocations to the County for use in updating the Regional Juvenile Information System
mainframe computer (REJIS) and enhancing the electronic transfer of information among law
enforcement, schools as well as County Departments dealing with juveniles in the justice and
dependency systems; and
WHEREAS, under the County of San Diego's current proposal they are planning
to spend the 1999/2000 JAIBG funds for the following:
1. Completing juvenile justice automation efforts, which will include a web -based link
between the juvenile court, local schools and law enforcement, to share probation
order and school performance data electronically.
2. Development and implementation of two Community Assessment Centers (one in
mid -City San Diego and one in Oceanside) where law enforcement can bring
delinquent and truant juveniles. At this facility, probation officers will conduct needs
and treatment assessments. This model, which is working effectively in communities
around the county, will allow law enforcement to quickly handle juvenile incidents by
reducing the hours needed for transportation to juvenile hall or waiting for parents.
3. Increasing cooperation and communication between law enforcement, schools and the
Probation Department by locating eight probation officers within police facilities
countywide. In this program, known and the CROP program, these probation officers
will provide a critical liaison between local law enforcement, schools and probation.

WHEREAS, the interest of the National City Police Department correlates with
that of the County; and
WHEREAS, based on economy of scale, NCPD realizes that the funds would be a
much better benefit to the Department if used by the County on the above regional projects; and
WHEREAS, the Police Department therefore recommends approval of the
Resolution to transfer National City's FY 1999/2000 Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block
Grant funds to the County of San Diego; and
WHEREAS, the City of National City declines to directly accept funds made
available through the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant (JAIBG) Program
administered by the Office of Criminal Justice Planning ("OCJP");
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City waives its right to its entire direct subgrant award and authorizes the funds to be
expended by the County of San Diego for the mutual benefit of both units of local government.
IT IS AGREED that any liability arising out of the performance of this Grant
Award Agreement, including civil court actions for damages, shall be the responsibility of the
grant recipient and the authorizing agency. The State of California and OCJP disclaim
responsibility for any such liability.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that grant funds received hereunder shall not be
used to supplant expenditures controlled by this body.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 21st day of March, 2000.
