ADAMS, CHIEF OF POLICE RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a Resolution for the waiver and transfer of Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant funding and approve matching City funds. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: For the third year, the Office of Criminal Justice Planning has awarded a Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant to San Joaquin County. The total award is $244,795 and the City of Lodi's share of the grant is $14,011. I am recommending that Council authorize the City of Lodi's share of this grant to be waived so the funds can be pooled with grant funds from the cities of Manteca, Tracy, Stockton, and the County of San Joaquin for purposes of funding Gang Outreach workers. These worker(s) will serve San Joaquin County cities and liaison between law enforcement, gang members and their families. This program is tied to the Operation Peacekeeper Program in which the City of Lodi has participated, with County agencies, for the past three (3) years. FUNDING: $14,011 grant funds awarded by the Office of Criminal Justice Planning to the City of Lodi through San Joaquin County. $1,557 matching funds, from the State Citizens Option for Public Safety Grant (AB 3229). cc: City Attorney APPROVED: rry J. /Jams Chief of Police -ll_= �- H.
