SUBMITTED BY: Police Department, Legal Department, Department of Finance and Budget CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Cindy Epperson, agounting Manager 575 -6070 SUMMARY EXPLANATION: With Initiative 695 implemented in January 2000, Motor Vehicle Excise Taxes are no longer available to support the Criminal Justice Funding to Cities, administered by the Department of Community, Trade, and Economic Development (DCTED). However, State General Funds remain in the Municipal Criminal Justice Account at the state, which are not affected by 1695. Additionally, DCTED has noted that these programs are not considered part of the "backfill" funding. The City has historically received 3 grants -1) Innovative Law Enforcement Strategy, 2) At -Risk Child or Child Abuse Response Program, and 3) Domestic Violence Reduction /Counseling. Because of the uncertainty of the continuation of these funds after January 2000, the revenue and corresponding programs were not included in the City's 2000 budget. We have recently received notification that the City will continue to receive grant funds, although at a reduced level, through the biennium. The attached appropriation ordinance establishes both the revenue and expenditure budgets related to these programs. We anticipate receiving $16,277 for Law Enforcement Strategy, $22,853 for At -Risk Children, and $22,843 for Domestic Violence Advocacy grants in 2000. These amounts total $61,973 and represent approximately 68% of the prior year distribution. Because the Law Enforcement Strategy is earmarked for the Bicycle patrol program and that program was not affected by the budget cuts related to 1695, there is not a corresponding expenditure appropriation for this revenue source. Expenditure appropriations include $22,853 for The Yakima County Substance Abuse Coalition which administers the At -Risk youth programs, and $22,843 for the YWCA which administers the Domestic Violence Advocacy program. (This distribution to the Yakima County Substance Abuse Coalition will restore the City's participation in these programs to levels similar to the 1999 budget.) Both of these appropriations will also require contract modifications. The resolution and related contract will be presented for Council consideration at the next regularly scheduled meeting. Staff respectfully requests Council approval of the attached ordinance to provide $45,696 for the DCTED grant programs.
