City of Garden Grove
INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To:
Lisa L. Kim From: Amir El-Farra
Dept:
City Manager Dept: Public Works
Date: 3/26/2024
Subject: Appropriation of Fiscal Year 2023-24 Public Safety Realignment and Post- Release Community Supervision funds. (Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
To obtain City Council approval to use funding allocated by the State for Public Safety Realignment and Post -Release Community Supervision, and to appropriate these funds for FY 2023-24 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 Post- release Community Supervision Act” (herein after referred to as “AB 109”). AB 109 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. AB 109 shifted the burden of “supervision” from the State to local law enforcement agencies.
DISCUSSION
Garden Grove received an allocation of approximately $194,022 in FY 2023-24 State AB 109 funding for local law enforcement agencies. Additional FY 2023 -24 growth funds may also be disbursed to the city after July 1, 2024, but the amount will not be known until the disbursement is made. This funding provides additional resources for local law enforcement services, and supplanting is prohibited by statute.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
AB 109 funds will supplement the City's public safety related funding needs, and there is no matching requirement for using such funds.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
Authorize additional appropriation in the Police Department's operating budget for FY 2023 -24 in the amount of AB 109 funding allocated to the City for approximately $194,022, and unspent FY2023-24 AB 109 funding be carried over to the future fiscal year.
