TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 3229 CITIZEN'S OPTION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY
(COPS) FUNDING FOR FISCAL YEAR 2010/2011
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1). Conduct a public hearing to consider the recommendations for the
allocation of the supplemental funding for local law enforcement pursuant
to Assembly Bill No. 3229.
2). Adopt a Resolution entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHINO
HILLS ALLOCATING AND APPROPRIATING THE SUPPLEMENTAL
FUNDING PROVIDED UNDER ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 3229 FOR
ALLOCATION YEAR 2010/2011.
BACKGROUND:
On July 10, 1996, Assembly Bill NO. 3229 was enacted by the State of California
establishing the Citizen's Option for Public Safety (COPS) program and initially provided
$100,000,000 to counties and cities within the state for the purpose of supplemental law
enforcement. Twenty-five percent of the original amount was allocated to counties for
jails and criminal prosecution, and the remaining seventy-five percent was allocated to
counties and cities based on population.
The first two years of COPS funding was used to establish the traffic division and to
purchase equipment for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. Due to the
rising costs of services, the City has used the funds to offset the General Fund for the
cost of a deputy and a marked patrol unit in the traffic division, the reserve patrol
vehicle, the annual maintenance of the police radio in the Citizen Patrol vehicle, and the
purchase of cell phones.

SUBJECT: ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 3229 CITIZEN'S OPTION FOR PUBLIC
SAFETY (COPS) FUNDING FOR FISCAL YEAR 2010/2011
The cost for the annual maintenance of the radio in the Citizen Patrol vehicle, the
reserve patrol vehicle and the cellular service charges have since been reflected in the
Public Safety Budget. This year, the City will receive $100,000, a decrease of$21,958
from the previous year. The COPS allocation will partially offset the cost of one traffic
division deputy. Approval of this item will expedite the allocation of funds under
Assembly Bill No. 3229.
REVIEWED BY:
This item has been reviewed by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department and
the Finance Director.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact to the General Fund. Approval of this item will expedite the
allocation of funds under Assembly Bill No. 3229.
Respectfully submitted,
