WHEREAS, on June 25, 2020, the United States Department of Justice’s Office of
Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) awarded the Police Department $750,000 for the
COPS Hiring Grant Program to hire six Peace Officers; and
WHEREAS, since the COPS Hiring Grant does not fully fund the personnel cost of a Peace
Officer, the grant terms require recipients to contribute a local cash match; and
WHEREAS, during its regular meeting held on August 13, 2020, the Measure A Citizens’
Oversight Committee recommended City Council approval of using Measure A funds to meet the
local match requirement; and
WHEREAS, the six Peace Officers partially funded by the COPS grant will also be funded
from the Police Department’s available fund balance of the Measure A Sales Tax Fund.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Chula Vista,
that it approves the amended Measure A Public Safety Expenditure Plan to move up the hiring of
six Peace Officers to Fiscal Year 2021 and amends the Fiscal Year 2021 Revenue and expenditure
budget by appropriating $125,000 to the Revenue from Other Agencies category and $560,868 to
the personnel category of the Measure A Sales Tax Fund.
