the criteria to examine an offender’s total criminal history rather than merely his or her last known offense, <br />as a means of more accurately assessing the risk he or she might pose to the community. <br /> <br />Implementation of the realignment policy is handled in part by the Community Corrections Partnerships <br />established by AB 109, which currently have only one city representative, compared to at least four county- <br />level representatives. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impact: <br />Unknown impact on the State General Fund. This resolution seeks to establish increased and <br />constitutionally protected funding for city police departments (and county sheriff’s departments, to the <br />degree they are contracted to provide police services for cities), but does not specify a dollar amount for the <br />revenue stream. At a minimum, it would entail an annual revenue stream of at least the amount provided for <br />cities for front-line law enforcement in the State’s 2013-14 Budget, $27.5 million, indefinitely – although <br />that revenue stream has never been formally identified by the Brown Administration as having any direct <br />connection to realignment. <br /> <br />Existing League Policy: <br />Related to this resolution, existing policy provides: <br /> <br />• The League supports policies establishing restrictions on the early release of state inmates for the <br />purpose of alleviating overcrowding, and limiting parole hearing opportunities for state inmates <br />serving a life sentence, or paroled inmates with a violation. <br /> <br />• The League supports increasing municipal representation on and participation in the Community <br />Corrections Partnerships, which are charged with developing local corrections plans. <br /> <br />• In addition, the Strategic Priorities for 2012, as adopted by the League Board of Directors, included <br />the promotion of local control for strong cities. The resolution’s objectives of locking in ongoing <br />funding for front-line municipal law enforcement, and increasing city participation in the <br />Community Corrections Partnerships, are consistent with promoting local control. <br /> <br />Support: <br />New this year, any resolutions submitted to the General Assembly must be concurred in by five cities or by <br />city officials from at least five or more cities. Those submitting resolutions were asked to provide written <br />documentation of concurrence. The following cities/city officials have concurred: cities of Arroyo Grande; <br />Covina; Fontana; Glendora; Monrovia; Ontario; Pismo Beach; and Santa Barbara. <br /> <br /> <br />15
