use of the unincorporated County money can be made by the Sheriff ' s
Department. The Sheriff ' s request must be considered by the Board at a
public hearing, which is scheduled for September 24 , 1996 . The law further
requires that the Auditor establish a Supplemental Law Enforcement Services
Fund to receive allocations of these funds from the State and creates a
Supplemental law Enforcement Oversight Committee to at least annually review
the use of these funds . These two matters were approved by the Board of
Supervisors at its August 6, 1996 meeting. This Committee is defined in
statute as consisting of the District Attorney, Sheriff, County
Administrator, one City Manager and one municipal Police Chief. The latter
two are appointed by the City Selection Committee. The Mayors ' Conference
has been requested to make its two appointments at its September 5, 1996
meeting. These funds must be used to supplement existing law enforcement
activities .
