Acceptance of Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant
The Police Department requests City Council approval to accept funding from the Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant Program provided by the State of California (State) through the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC). The funding, in the amount of $94,079.08, was approved in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 (FY23) State budget and did not require an application process. The grant will be appropriated to the Police Department's budget in the amount of $31,359.69 per fiscal year over the next three fiscal years. The funding must be used for allowable purposes specified in the grant documents by December 1, 2025.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; b) Accept the State of California Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant in the amount of $94,079.08; and
c) Approve Budget Amendment No. 24-003 appropriating $31,359.69 in increased expenditures in Account No. 01035352-861009-G2330 for FY 2023-24.
DISCUSSION:
Background
In its FY23 budget, the State allocated $50,000,000 in funding to the Officer Wellness and Mental Health Program administered by the BSCC. The allocation was divided among the law enforcement agencies throughout the state based on the number of sworn officers employed by each agency. No application or award process was conducted by the BSCC and funds were dispersed by check in February 2023. The amount granted to the City of Newport Beach for use by the Police Department is $94,079.08 and it must be used by December 1, 2025. City Council approval is required for acceptance of the grant per Council Policy F-25 and to appropriate funds to the expenditure budget per Council Policy F-3.
