Dept:
City Manager Dept: Police
Date: 8/13/2024
Subject: Appropriation of Fiscal Year 2024-25 Public Safety Realignment and Post- Release Community Supervision Funds. (Action Item)
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 2024-25 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 “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 h ave 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 $222,960 in FY 2024-25 State AB109 funding for local law enforcement agencies. Additional FY 2024-25 growth funds may also be disbursed after July 1, 2025 , but the amount will not be known until the disbursement is made. This funding provides addit ional 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.
