RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO TRANSFER
ITS SHARE OF FY 2003/2004 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 Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant
("JAIBG") funds available through the California Office of Criminal Justice Planning
("OCJP"); and
WHEREAS, the San Diego region will obtain a total of $1,019,936 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 2003/2004 allocation for the City of National City
is $18,004; 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
which would meet the 10% cash match requirement for each agency; and
WHEREAS, last year National City and nine other cities committed
JAIBG Program allocations to the County.
WHEREAS, under the County of San Diego's current proposal they are
planning to spend the 2003/2004 JAIBG funds for the following:
1. Maintain and expand the Community Response Officer Program
("CROP") in which Deputy Probation Officers are stationed in and/or shared
between twenty (20) law enforcement locations and jurisdictions. CROP is
designed to increase communications, provide information on juveniles to law
enforcement and perform community outreach activities.
2. Continue planning meetings with community stakeholders to
refine existing programs and explore opportunities for CROP to participate in
additional pre -delinquent and diversion programs for communities.

3. Maintain and support the Juvenile Court Website and computer
linkage with law enforcement, probation, courts and school districts, which will
continue to facilitate information sharing. Continue to explore enhanced processes
by working with the school districts to improve the timelines and accuracy of
school records accessed on the Juvenile Court Website; and
WHEREAS, if all the cities agree to participate and pool allocations,
$ 1,019.036 will be for JAIBG. This includes a $ 101,994 cash match contribution
by the Probation Department, and approximately $200,000 Contributions of Local
Law Enforcement Block Grant ("LLEBG") Funds; and
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 of 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 transfer of National City's FY 2002/2003 Juvenile Accountability Incentive
Block Grant funds to the County of San Diego, and that the City decline direct
acceptance of funds made available through the JAIBG Program administered by
the 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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that 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.
