 City of Hermosa Beach --- 02-22-00RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE RELEASE OF FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE JUVENILE ACCOUNTABILITY INCENTIVE BLOCK GRANT (JAIBG) TO THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council:
BACKGROUND Each year the Office of Criminal Justice Planning of the State of California makes available grant monies to cities and counties in the State for the purposes of developing programs to reduce and combat juvenile crime. This particular grant has designated grant amounts to individual cities and counties that can be applied for if an acceptable proposal is submitted. The City of Hermosa Beach has funds allocated in the amount of $7,264. The District Attorney’s Office of the County of Los Angeles has approached many of the South Bay Cities with the proposal of pooling these grant funds for establishing a juvenile hearing officer through the Juvenile Offender Intervention Network program. This hearing officer is utilized to work with first time juvenile offenders keeping them out of the court system but developing intervention programs to try and guide youthful offenders away from further criminal activity. The cities of Torrance, Gardena and Manhattan Beach are also participating in this grant. In order to release these funds to the County for their use the Office of Criminal Justice Planning requires each participating City must approve a resolution to release these funds.
FISCAL IMPACT This resolution has no fiscal impact.
