The City's Police Department consists of 100 sworn and civilian employees. The City of Petaluma, like many Cities in California, is facing a severe budget crisis as a result of our current economic times. The Police Department has reduced their sworn staffing size from 77 allocated positions in the 2007/2008 fiscal budget year to the current size of 70 with three un -funded, frozen positions. The City of Petaluma is anticipating a budget shortfall for the 09/10 fiscal year of at least 1.2 million dollars; however, it is anticipated to be higher. The Police Department accounts for approximately 43% of the citywide budget (figure from fiscal year 08/09). This budget shortfall has forced the City to again pursue early retirement incentives, request the City employee unions take concessions, and the stopping of all equipment purchases. 1f the City is unable to make up the budget shortfall, the City will be forced to reduce the various departments' operating budgets through layoffs. The Police Department is requesting funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to purchase needed police vehicles and equipment to help preserve the current staffing levels of the Police Department. Currently, the City has suspended all vehicle purchases for all departments. The funds normally put into the City's vehicle replacement program have been diverted to the general fund budget to make up the shortfall in revenue. The stimulus funds will allow the Police Department to enhance and upgrade two specialty units within the Police Department that can generate potential revenue to preserve police staffing. One vehicle purchase will allow the Police Department's Traffic Enforcement Unit to implement a Commercial Vehicle Enforcement program. The second vehicle purchase will allow the Police Department to add an additional K-9 Unit to the Patrol Unit. Both of these enhancements have the potential to increase revenue to the City through fines and seizures. The Police Department understands the importance of purchasing these vehicles and equipment from local vendors to help stimulate the local and national economy. We also understand the importance of purchasing only American made police vehicles and equipment. The first police vehicle requested to be purchased is for the Police Department's Traffic Enforcement Unit. The vehicle requested is an American made 4x4, crew cab police truck. The vehicle will be Attachment 1— Narrative 1 of 6 V BJA EY 09 Recovery Act Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program Local Solicitation Petaluma Police Department outfitted with all the necessary emergency equipment, paint and markings to identify it as a Police Vehicle. The vehicle will primarily be utilized in the patrol function of Commercial Vehicle Enforcement. The type of enforcement conducted by the traffic officer will include: roadside inspections, weight enforcement, as well as "post -crash" inspections of commercial vehicles to determine pre-crash conditions that may have been a contributing factor to the collision. The traffic officer will also routinely conduct radar and traffic enforcement on roadways with heavy commercial traffic. The Police Department is requesting the purchase of a patrol truck based on the type of equipment needed; i.e., scales, cones, tarps, tools, etc. and where Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Officer (CVEO) will work. In researching how this vehicle purchase will help preserve, enhance, and upgrade the Traffic Unit's abilities, we contacted several agencies who had an active CVEO and patrol vehicle. Some of the research highlights were: ® Elk Grove PD, California— CVEO wrote 1027 citations in one year. Total fines of $395,341, with $150,229 being distributed to the city. • Elk Grove PD, California did not have portable scales for the first nine months of program, yet generated $316,273 in fines. It is anticipated that fine revenue would have been much higher for the year with portable scales. ® Santa Rosa PD, California - $40,000 fine for one commercial violation. The traffic sergeant stated their commercial vehicle program is self-sustaining as a result of fines. e Reduction in commercial vehicle collisions. ® Reduction in revenue loss to cities from having to pay for hit and run damage to City property ® Reduction in repair costs to City streets as a result of overloaded commercial vehicles violating designated driving routes. The second police vehicle requested to be purchased is for a Police K-9 vehicle. The vehicle requested is an American made 2WD, 4 -door, Chevrolet Tahoe. The vehicle will be outfitted with all the necessary emergency equipment, paint and markings to identify it as a Police K-9 vehicle. The Chevrolet Tahoe is currently utilized by many agencies throughout the Country as the main patrol vehicle assigned to a K-9 officer. This vehicle will be assigned to one officer and a K-9. The Officer will work in a uniformed patrol function enforcing all local, state, and federal laws. Attachment 1— Narrative 2of6 BJA FY 09 Recovery Act Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program Local Solicitation Petaluma Police Department With the purchase of a new K-9 vehicle, the Police Department will be able to promote a patrol officer to a K-9 officer. The Police Department's K-9 Unit has raised privately donated funds to purchase a K-9 for the Police Department. Due to the fiscal crisis, the Police Department is unable to purchase the necessary vehicle and equipment to add another K-9 Unit to the Department's program. The Police Department has a limited number of patrol vehicles and cannot take one out of regular service and outfit it specifically as a K-9 Unit. The current Police Department K-9 Units work in a patrol capacity on a daily basis. The K-9 units are cross trained for protection and narcotic detection. As a result of the cross training, the Police Department's K-9 are routinely used by the local Drug Enforcement Agency, the FBI, Department of Justice, and other local agencies for narcotic searches. The Police Department then receives a portion of fines or assets seized by these agencies. This revenue assists in supporting the current K-9 program. Petaluma is also home to 4 major northern California ground shipment company hubs. UPS, FedEx, DHL, and the U.S. Postal Service each have a distribution hub located in Petaluma City limits. Marijuana, methamphetamine, and other illicit drugs, as well as drug-related monies are being transported through Petaluma via U.S. Highway 101 and through legitimate shipping companies. The National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) stated in a 2006 report that "The highway infrastructure in the Pacific region facilitates the transportation of illicit drugs into, through, and from the area. Drug traffickers increasingly transport illicit drugs into the region via packaging delivery services". Below are examples of sporadic local narcotic enforcement incidents and seizures: • In 2007, Sonoma County Deputies discovered approximately 20 lbs. of processed marijuana and $73,000 in cash on a routine traffic stop on Highway 101. • In May 2007, Petaluma Police and DEA agents discovered a distribution ring which utilized local parcel shipment companies including U.S. Postal Service and DHL. The seizures included over two and half of cocaine, one pound of crystal methamphetamine and $50,000.00 in cash. • In March 2007, Petaluma Police Department officers confiscated two pounds of marijuana from a man who lived in Mendocino County and admitted to be in the process of delivering the marijuana to the Bay Area. • In May 2007, Petaluma Police Officers arrested a man who said he was traveling southbound Highway 101 to San Francisco with five and half pounds of processed marijuana. Attachment 1— Narrative 3of6 N BJA FY 09 Recovery Act Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program Local Solicitation Petaluma Police Department In May 2008, Petaluma Police Officers arrested two men from San Jose, CA with five pounds of processed marijuana who admitted to having traveled to Mendocino County to purchase the marijuana. • In May 2008, Narcotic Task Force officers seized approximately $230,000.00 from a man traveling to the Emerald Triangle to purchase narcotics. In May 2008, Petaluma Police and DEA Agents seized approximately $11,550.00 from two men traveling from southern California to Mendocino County after admitting they had sold marijuana in Southern California. Proiect abiectives, Design and Implementation: Objective 1: Upon receipt of the grant award, ordervehicles and equipment from local vendors to help stimulate the local and national economy. Objective 2: Identify and reassign patrol officers to work as a CVEO in the Traffic Unit and a new K-9 handler to reduce the potential of layoffs in the Police Department. Objective 3: Assign both CVEO and K-9 handler to specialty units to begin proactive enforcement activities in the investigation of commercial vehicle violations and narcotic interdiction to increase revenue to City general fund. The utilization and equipment purchased for the CVEO position will allow for the implementation of a CVEO program for the Police Department. The program goal for this position is to reduce commercial vehicle collisions and increase traffic safety in the City of Petaluma. This will be accomplished through proactive enforcement activities such as: roadside vehicle inspections, post crash inspections of commercial vehicles, and working with the California Truckers Association to promote educational programs focusing on driver safety. The CVEO will work under the direct supervision of a Traffic Sergeant. The utilization and equipment purchased for the K-9 handler also allows the implementation of an interdiction program in the City of Petaluma. The program goal is to reduce the amount of narcotics being distributed nationally and transported in and through the City of Petaluma. This will be accomplished by increasing the number of seizures from U. S. Highway 101 and from the national Attachment 1-- Narrative 4 of 6 1. BJA FY €39 Recovery Act Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program Local Solicitation Petaluma Police Department shipping companies in the region through proactive enforcement of state, federal, and local laws. The K-9 program will work under direct supervision of a K-9 Sergeant. Caoabilities/Competencies: The Petaluma Police Department has successfully developed, implemented, and administered numerous specialized programs and grants from the National Highway and Transportation Safety Administration, the United States Department of Justice and many State of California grant projects. The Police Department is committed to accurately and efficiently capturing all relevant data and sharing that data with appropriate agencies. The Petaluma Police Department and Petaluma City Finance Department currently have staff assigned to the writing and monitoring of grants. This will allow for the tracking and monitoring of all grant expenditures separately from other f=ederal funding. The Finance Department routinely assigns grant funds separately to a special revenue fund. Each project within that fund is individually tracked with its own project number to prevent comingling. It is the intent to spend all grant funds immediately and no later than the fall of 2010. These funds will have a positive effect on the local economy which is still suffering in these troubled economic times. Administrative Sergeant Ralph Evans is a veteran police officer with 24 years of experience. He has been an administrative sergeant for three years. His duties include the writing and monitoring of grants. He is responsible for the purchasing and outfitting of all new equipment and vehicles purchased for the police department. He will be the project administrator. Traffic Sergeant Ken Savano is a veteran police officer with 14 years experience. He has been a motorcycle officer for over seven years. He has written and overseen numerous state and federal grants. He will oversee the CVEO program. Sergeant Mark Hunter is a veteran K-9 handler and has spent 12 of his 25 years of law enforcement experience as a police sergeant. He has been the Police Department's K-9 Sergeant for eight years. Sergeant Hunter will oversee the K-9 handler and interdiction program. Senior Accountant Kate Lloyd will track the awarded funds.

The Police Department also intends to purchase all emergency related equipment necessary to outfit these vehicles from local vendors. Installation of this equipment will be handled by a local radio installer. This equipment will include the items listed in the budget detail worksheet on page 1. All the equipment listed for purchase is required to outfit a police and K-9 vehicle. Without funding from this grant, the Police Department could not afford to purchase these vehicles and equipment. A fully marked police K-9 and Commercial Enforcement Vehicle are necessary to implement two new programs in the Police Department. By purchasing these vehicles and equipment, the Police Department meets all the goals of the grant in stimulating the local and national economy, potentially preserving law enforcement positions within the police department and continuing the protection of the citizens of the United States.

Attachment 3 — Review Narrative 1of1 \S BJA FY 09 Recovery Act Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program Local Solicitation Petaluma Police Department Pram Abstract Applicant Name: City of Petaluma, California Project Title: Implementation of Commercial Vehicle Enforcement and K-9 narcotic interdiction programs at the Petaluma Police Department. Project Goal: Goal #1: Implement Commercial Vehicle Enforcement program and K-9 narcotic interdiction programs to generate revenue to preserve police staffing levels at the Police Department. Goal #2: Stimulate local and national economy through the purchase of American made police vehicles and emergency equipment to outfit police vehicles from local vendors. Summary: The City of Petaluma is requesting funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to help preserve police staffing at the Petaluma Police Department. The Police Department intends to do this by purchasing two American made police vehicles and necessary equipment to outfit the vehicles. One police vehicle will be used to diversify the Police Department's Traffic Unit and allow the Traffic Unit for the first time to perform Commercial Vehicle Enforcement within the City of Petaluma. This enforcement activity may allow the Police Department to retain a traffic officer position, currently in jeopardy, as a result of the increased general fund revenue through fines. Additionally, the City may save money by reducing the amount of property damage caused by commercial vehicles to roadways, light poles, signs, and fire hydrants directly related to commercial vehicles being off of designated truck routes or by being overloaded. The second vehicle purchase will allow the Police Department to add another Police K-9 to the Patrol Unit. This will allow for the K-9 Unit to expand their enforcement into illegal drug sales and distribution. The K-9 Unit will now be able to develop an interdiction program to target the distribution of illegal drugs being transported nationally by way of U. S. Highway 101 and through the national ground distribution companies located in Petaluma. This increased interdiction has the potential to preserve a police officer position within the Police Department through fines and seizures of cash and property from narcotic dealers and transporters.
