expenditures of these funds by local law enforcement officials. The funds aze to be allocated from the County fund to the county sheriff, district attorney, the county, cities, and certain special districts based on population. Cities should expect to receive about $2.30 per capita. The City of Pleasanton's shaze will be $137,539. The Chief of Police must submit to the Council a proposal for the expenditure of the funds. The Council must hold a public hearing in each year the appropriation is made by the State Legislature and approve a resolution to act upon the proposal within 60 days. The council shall consider these written requests separate and apart from the process applicable to proposed allocations of the general fund. The funds can not be used to supplant existing funding for services. They can not be intermingled with other funds, but must be deposited in a special fund. The City Finance Director must provide a monthly report on expenditures of this appropriation to the County Supplemental Law Enforcement Oversight Committee, the Council and the Chief of Police. The appropriated funds aze exclusively for Front Line Municipal Police Services. These funds are to be deposited into a City Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund. Once the Council has adopted a resolution, and the appropriation has been received from the County, the City Finance Director may disperse the funds. Mobile Data Computers have a positive effect on response times. Mobile Data Computers aze computers mounted in police patrol vehicles and electronically connected to the existing computerized police records management systems. Officers spend less time writing reports and delivering them for review by supervisors, thus increasing the availability of officers. Reports are electronically transmitted to the supervisors. Automated forms take less time to complete due to the reduction of redundant information. Investigators will save time by accessing reports through their desk top computers rather than requiring duplication. By starting the system with a few mobile units and all of the necessary support equipment, evaluation of the system and writing of operation procedures will be completed prior to equipping the remainder of the patrol fleet. SUBSEQUENT YEARS: We would anticipate short term (one to three yeaz) funding through this appropriation as it is renewed by the State legislature each fiscal year, on a year to yeaz basis. It is always possible that funding may not be granted in any subsequent yeaz. However, this is a one year trial period for the Mobile Data Computers. A report on the trial period of the system is expected to be completed by December, 1998.
