SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES ACCOUNT (SLESA) GRANT FROM THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AN EXPENDITURE PLAN AND
APPROPRIATION
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Police Department
SUMMARY
Each year the Palm Springs Police Department receives funding from the State of
California to supplement the Department's budget. This year the City will receive
$100,000. No matching funds are required to obtain these funds. The use of the
SLESA funds is only for front-line, municipal police services and should supplement, not
supplant current front-line law enforcement services.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Accept the State of California Supplemental Enforcement Services Account
Grant (SLESA) and Expenditure Plan
2. Direct the Director of Finance/City Treasurer to fund the Appropriation
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute any documents to effectuate the
acceptance of the grant.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The Palm Springs Police Department annually receives funds from the State to
supplement the Department's budget. These funds are distributed to law enforcement
agencies throughout Riverside County.
The City has been awarded $100,000 for Fiscal Year 2016-2017. The SLESA Grant
can be spent for a variety of law enforcement expenditures as long as they are used for
frontline municipal police services.

Accept SLESA Grant Funding
The funds will be used to purchase new equipment such as, computers, hardware, and
software programs. The funds will also be used to purchase officer safety equipment
and accessories. The SLESA funds will be distributed throughout this list of items.
This request is to meet the requirements of SB 823 enacted in April of 2002. The bill
amended Government Code Sections 30061 and 30063, requiring City Councils to
appropriate the funds exclusively for law enforcement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This will have no impact on the General Fund and there are no matching funds required.
