AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO TRANSFER
ITS SHARE OF FY 2004/2005 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 $701,588 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 2004/2005 allocation for the City of National City is
$13,708; 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 2004/2005 JAIBG funds for the following:
1. Continue 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 eligible to receive JABG. CROP is desinged to
increase communictions, proivde information on juveniles to law enforcemetn and
perform community outreach activities.
2. Continue to attend 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

4. If all the cities agree to participate and pool allocations, $779,542 will b
available for JABG. This includes a $77,954 cash match contribution by the San Diego
County Probation Department.
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 2004/2005 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.
