RECOMMENDATION:
City Council authorize Staff to apply for the Federal Local
Law Enforcement Block Grants Program.
2) Approve Budge Change Form authorizing the transfer of
$1,399 in matching funds from the City's Contingent
Reserve.
- FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
The City of Dublin is eligible for $13,999 in grant funds and
would need to make a 10% matching cash funds which would be
$1,399.
-DESCRIPTION: The United States Department of Justice, through its Bureau of
Justice Assistance (BJA) is making funds available through a LOCAL LA W ENFORCEMENT BLOCK
GRANTS PROGRAM. This program allocates funds to local government based on the number of Part I
crimes reported in the jurisdiction during the last three years.
The purpose of the BLOCK GRANTS PROGRAM is to provide units of local government with funds to
underwrite projects to reduce crime and improve public safety. Diverse strategies ranging from law
enforcement personnel overtime to crime prevention programs can be the format for these projects.
Equipment, technology and other material directly related to basic law enforcement can be supplemented
with these funds giving the community a large return on a small investment.
BJA has determined that the City of Dublin would be eligible for $13,999 in funds. Under the BLOCK
GRANTS PROGRAM guidelines the City would need to provide matching cash funds in the amount of
10% of the grant amount awarded ($1,399)and would be responsible for ensuring that a commitment for
the matching funds is available prior to submitting an application.
The application process does not require that specific uses for the funds be identified as a part of the
application. Instead it is a one page form which allows local government to check-off purposes for which
they plan to spend the funds. The BLOCK GRANTS PROGRAM intent is to provide for community
input on fund expenditures as indicated by the following guidelines:

H/cc-forms/agdastm t.doc
"Prior to the obligation of any funds received under the BLOCK GRANTS PROGRAM, a ooit of ,
local government must
· establish or designate an advisory board that includes representatives of groups with a
recognized interest in criminal justice and crime or substance abuse prevention and
treatment. Advisory board members must include: local law enforcement, school
representative, court system, prosecutor's office and a nonprofit group. This advisory _
board must review the application and be authorized to make nonbinding recommendations
for the use of funds received under this program
· hold at least one public hearing regarding the proposed use of Block Grants funds."
Local government must make an application for these funds to BJA by August 9, 1996.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve applying for the available funds through the LOCAL
LA W ENFORCEMENT BLOCK GRANTS PROGRAM and include the appropriation of $1 ,399 from
the City's Contingent Reserve to cover the 10% matching funds requirement of the grant.

POSSIBLE USES FOR GRANT FUNDS
--
.
ADDITIONAL CRIME PREVENTION/BIKE PATROL PERSONNEL: this would
be contingent upon the grant program continuing and the ability of the City to use these
funds in conjunction with approximately $61,000 which will be allocated to the City by the
State for law enforcement purposes.
DIGITAL CAMERA: this camera would take and store photos (up to between 72-90)
that could then be downloaded and printed from a computer. Photographs of crime
scenes, educational materials, etc. could then be easily and inexpensively downloaded to a
computer for printing. Prices are in the $700-$800 range.
STAND ALONE COMPUTER and COLOR LASER PRINTER: for use with the
digital camera. The graphic intensive nature of the camera would require a lot of memory
and it would work more efficiently with its own designated computer. The color printer
would allow for color copies of crime scenes, recovered evidence, suspect photos, etc.
The cost for a system would run approximately $3,200.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH FOR NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH: funds could be
used for overtime for the use of personnel on weekends to contact residents at the
neighborhood level on Saturday or Sunday. This would make it possible to contact
residents in their neighborhoods during
2 staff members for 8 hours
1 weekend a month
.
16 hours
x 12 months
192 hours
x pay rate
$4000- $5,000
Some other ideas might be:
Automatic Digital Dialer: this type of system could be programmed with different
batches of telephone numbers (banks, merchants, block captains)
that could then dial up and deliver formatted messages regarding
crime alerts, crime trends, soliciting information on cases, etc_
Police Explorer Post - kids 14-18 years of age work with the department in various
capacities. Explorers would wear a designated uniform_
Youth Service Corp - kids help with community projects during the summer or after
school hours and earn reward points for group outings (Great
America, waterslides, movies, ice skating, etc)
