PURPOSE:

To appropriate $1,830.38 of interest accumulated during prior fiscal years for the 2003 Police Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG).

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of the Department of Justice LLEBG program is to provide funds to units of local government for projects that reduce crime and improve public safety.  In August 2003, the City of Burbank received $51,381 in LLEBG funds for the following purposes:  cable programming, crime prevention and education programs, motor officer communication equipment, computer equipment, Special Response Team ballistic vests, and other miscellaneous police equipment.

During the grant period the City of Burbank accumulated $1,830.38 in 2003 LLEBG interest earnings.  According to the grant provisions, the accumulated interest must be spent or returned to the Department of Justice.  On December 27, 2005, a final grant report was submitted indicating $1,792.90 of interest earnings had been spent, therefore, $37.48 will be returned to the Department of Justice.  This report is necessary to appropriate all interest earnings and finalize this 2003 LLEBG. 

FISCAL IMPACT:

Adoption of the proposed resolution will allow the City to appropriate prior fiscal year interest earnings from account 121-ND000-30004 to account 121-PD91B-70009-0000-14496 in the amount of $1,830.38. This resolution does not negatively impact the Grant Fund or any other City fund.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution appropriating 2003 LLEBG interest earnings in the amount of $1,830.38.
