REVIEWED BY:
SUMMARY
The Police Department and South Bay Community Services have been working in
partnership for the past twelve years providing domestic violence services to the
community. Adoption of this resolution will accept grant funding from the California
Emergency Management Agency for Domestic Violence Response Team services and
approve a contractual agreement with South Bay Community Services to provide services
for domestic violence cases.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the activity is not a
"Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will
not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section
15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no
environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.

DISCUSSION
Since 1985, the Chula Vista Police Department (CVPD) and South Bay Community
Services (SBCS) havepartnered to address issues with juveniles. And since 1997, CVPD
has been working in a partnership with SBCS to provide direct services to domestic
violence victims and protect the children from abu5e. The partnership between CVPD
and SBCS resulted in the formation of a 24-hourl7-day per week Domestic Violence
Response Team (DVRT). In order to provide more consistent and intensified follow-up
services, the DVRT program was expanded in October 2003 with the addition of two
full-time SBCS Advocates working on site at CVPD. A federal grant administered by the
California Emergency Management Agency (CalEMA) has funded advocacy services
since fiscal year 2003/2004, and the Police Department has been notified of continued
grant funding for the period of January 1,2010 to December 31, 2010.
Because of the established working relationship with SBCS, CVPD is seeking to waive
the consultant selection process and approve the contractual agreement with SBCS to
provide services for domestic violence cases. SBCS has tailored their programs to meet
the needs of the City and their experience, qualifications and community presence make
them a unique service provider.
The Domestic Violence Response Team consists of detectives from the Family Protection
Unit of the Police Department and Advocates from South Bay Community Services. The
Advocates work closely with the Detectives, provide more intensified follow-up services
after the violent incident, and help prevent the need for further intervention by law
enforcement. SBCS' Advocates are mandated to provide 24-hour immediate mobile
crisis. intervention in response to 911 calls to the CVPD on all family violence cases
involving children. Immediate response is construed to mean 20 minutes and current
average response time is 19-22 minutes. SBCS emergency staff meets CVPD officers at
the scene of domestic violence crimes to assess for child abuse as well as offer services to
victims. Additionally, CVPD has dedicated personnel from the Family Protection Unit to
arrive in such cases. This dedicated staffing will allow bothCVPD and the SBCS
Advocate to have increased access to victims after the incident. The following business
day, the Advocate will follow-up with victims (alone or with a CVPD Detective), set up
home visits with those not sheltered and provide case management and additional
services to those placed in shelter. These visits will be coordinated with a Detective,
depending on the severity of the abuse and if the perpetrator is still at large. Other SBCS
Advocate services include safety planning, support groups and counseling, Temporary
Restraining Order information and assistance, and transportation to a domestic violence
shelter.
Calendar Year 2009 DVRT Accomplishments
Investigated 1,484 cases of suspected domestic violence
Made contact and offer advocacy to 100% of victims with cases assigned to the
unit
Provided advocacy, including crisis intervention, resource and referral assistance,
emergency assistance, and/or restraining order assistance to 819 victims
Provided 4 training sessions to officers, highlighting the DVRT process as well as
other agency-wide services available to the community

DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is
not site specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of
Regulations section I 8704.2(a)(l) is not applicable to this decision.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMP ACT
The grant funding from the California Emergency Management Agency in the amount of
$150,000 will completely offset the South Bay Community Services subcontracting costs
of 2.75 FTE Advocates and digital cameras/recorders for the Family Protection Unit
purchased during the grant period of January I, 20 I 0 to December 31, 20 I o. Continuing
services of the Advocates beyond December 31, 20 I 0 is contingent upon additional grant
funding from CalEMA to support the program. Adoption of this resolution will result in
an appropriation of $72,439 to the fiscal year 2009/2010 budget of the Police Grant Fund
to cover the grant period of January I to June 30, 2010.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Because the grant period crosses two fiscal years, the adoption ofthis resolution will also
direct staff to include $77 ,561 in the fiscal year 20 I 0/20 11 Police Grant Fund budget for
the period of July I to December 31, 2010. The funds from CalEMA will completely
offset all costs, resulting in no net fiscal impact.
