Dept.: Police Chief 
Subject:

Appropriation of Fiscal Year 2021-22 Public Safety Realignment and Post-Release Community Supervision Funds.  (Action Item)

Date:6/14/2022
OBJECTIVE

To obtain City Council approval to use moneys allocated by the State for Public Safety Realignment and Post-Release Community Supervision, and to appropriate these funds for FY 2021-22 budget.
BACKGROUND

Assembly Bill 109, titled “2011 Realignment Legislation Addressing Public Safety,” became effective on July 1, 2011, and provided for the enactment of the “2011 Postrelease Community Supervision Act” (herein after referred to as “AB109”). AB109 requires that certain offenders be released into the community under the supervision of a designated county agency (Orange County Probation).

 

Prior to this legislation, these offenders would have either remained incarcerated in State prison or been released under the supervision of State Parole.  AB109 shifted the burden of “supervision” from the State to local law enforcement agencies.

DISCUSSION

Garden Grove received an allocation of approximately $137,044 in FY 2021-22 state AB109 funding for local law enforcement agencies. This funding provides additional resources for local law enforcement services, and supplanting is prohibited by statute.
FINANCIAL IMPACT

Using AB109 funds to supplement funding for public safety-related services creates no burden on the City’s General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:

 

  • Authorize the appropriation of FY 2021-22 Public Safety Realignment and Post-Release Community Supervision funds to the Police Department for FY 2021-22 budget.
