Dorgan, City Manager Ws Deputy Chief James Burns SUBJECT: Acceptance of United States Department of Justice 2003 Block Grant PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider acceptance of a grant from the U. S . Department of Justice, authorization of matching funds, and information to form an advisory board to oversee the grant for 2003 . BACKGROUND The United States Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance has authorized a grant award to the City of Elgin for $55, 473 to reduce crime and improve public safety. In the past, a portion of these monies has been utilized for technological advancements for the Police Department and Purchase of Service Agreement for crime prevention. The grant is issued as a result of a Federal Local Law Enforcement Grant program and has specific requirements for the use of this money. The Grant requirements include : 1) Local match of $6, 164 . 2) Formation of an advisory board to consider how the money should be spent . The board must be comprised of representation from the following groups : a) Police Department b) Local prosecutor' s office c) Local court system d) Local public school Bureau of Justice Assistance for 2002 September 19, 2003 Page 2 e) Local nonprofit, educational, religious or community group, active crime prevention or drug use prevention or treatment The Gang and Drug Task Force was used as the advisory board for the 1996 through 2002 grants . 3) The program funds must be audited. The grant was reduced by $17, 200 due to a provision requiring that municipalities share a portion of their eligible award with the County, if the Attorney General finds the award amounts issued to the County and City to be disparate. The Illinois Attorney General found that Elgin, Aurora and Carpentersville were eligible for a disparate treatment by Kane County in 2003, resulting in negotiations with the County to find an acceptable sharing of the award. The County will receive $17, 200 from Elgin, $5, 200 from Carpentersville and $33 , 700 Aurora. The amounts are roughly 20 percent of each agency' s eligible grant amount, rounded up to the nearest $1, 000 . Kane County will be using the funds to continue funding Community Based Prosecution in the City of Elgin, and this grant money will be managed by the County. Block grant money has been received by the City of Elgin every year since 1998 . The amount of the award is based upon a formula including Part I crimes (Violent) reported to the FBI and our population. The amount of the award has been decreasing, from a high of $100, 574 in 1998 to the current $55, 473 . The grant money has been used to purchase and enhance many systems in the police department and to fund crime prevention initiatives. The automated fingerprint system was purchased and expanded with these funds as was a significant portion of the police computer network, from e-mail, to firewalls to computers . In the Crime prevention area, this money has been used to fund an alternative to suspension program and to enhanced security around schools and the law enforcement facility. The police department competes for these funds with area civic organizations and social service organizations . Public hearings are held and the appointed task force makes non-binding recommendations on the expenditure of these funds to the City Council . eft. Bureau of Justice Assistance for 2002 September 19, 2003 Page 3 COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED The City Council must appoint an advisory board if the funds are to be accepted. gAuLF2INANCIAL IMPACT The total grant will equal $55, 473 . The local match of $6, 164 can be funded from the Police Department budget, account number 010-2301-731 . 80-30, Contributions-City Match Justice Grants, where $6, 164 has been budgeted and is available . The grant requires that a separate fund and account be established (Bureau of Justice Grant Fund, number 252) . Additional audit work would need to be performed by the City' s independent auditors at an estimated cost of $500 which can not be funded from the grant funds, but will be covered as part of the regular City audit .
