RECOMMENDED ACTION: AUTHORIZE provision for carry-over of$4,726.10 in unexpended Housing Authority funds into the 1995-96 county fiscal year and ALLOCATE an additional$10,273.90 to the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department for continuation of the special drug enforcement program,as recommended by the Advisory Housing Commission. II. FINANCIAL IMPACT: In the preparation of the 1995-96 Housing Authority operating budget,funds were budgeted and approved for the continuation of the Contra Costa County Sheriff s Department special drug enforcement program. III: REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND On September 9, 1994 the Board of Commissioners authorized carry-over of$6,646.24 and an allocation of $8,353.66 to provide the Sheriff s Department with$15,000 to continue the special drug enforcement program for the 1994-95 county fiscal year. On July 27, 1995,the Housing Authority received a report from the Sheriff s Department on the results of the special drug enforcement program. A total of 251 arrests were made on or about Housing Authority property during fiscal 1994-95. A joint operation of the Narcotics Bureau,Housing Authority Deputies,West N.E.T. and the J-Team,designed to target known street dealers in or about Housing Authority property,resulted in fifteen Grand Jury indictments. In addition to this,the Narcotics Bureau,J-Team and Housing Authority Deputies initiated a number of"Bust the Buyer"programs in which non-residents were apprehended after purchasing narcotics in North Richmond. During fiscal year 1995-96,a total of$10,273.90 was expended to outfit 22 investigators' cars with emergency equipment. In compliance with State law,the equipment purchased consisted of emergency lights and sirens,which will allow the Detectives to be more effective in the field. In the past eleven years,this special drug enforcement program has been very successful as it has reduced the amount of drug-related criminal activity in housing developments located in the unincorporated areas of the county serviced by the Sheriff s Department. For the 1995-96 fiscal year,the Sheriff s Department is requesting that funds be provided by the Housing Authority to continue this special drug enforcement program. As the Sheriffs Department utilized only$10,273.90 of the$15,000 supplied by the Housing Authority in 1994,they have requested that they be allowed to carry over the $4,726.10 in unexpended Housing Authority funds into the 1995-96 county fiscal year,and that the Housing Authority provide an additional$10,273.90,for a total of$15,000 to be expended in the 1995-96 county fiscal year.

Commander Investigation Division Subject: Annual Report I am pleased to provide the attached report by Sergeant James Nichols, Special Investigations Unit Commander, outlining our efforts to control drug traffic and related crimes in and around Housing Authority property during the 1994/95 fiscal year. By working closely with Housing Authority staff, I believe we were able to significantly reduce criminal activities in the targeted areas. I am pleased with the benefits derived by our cooperative agreement, and I hope we will be able to continue this productive relationship. During the year, a total of$10,273.90 was spent from the special $15,000 account provided by Housing Authority. This entire amount went toward the purchase of emergency equipment for Investigations vehicles as previously outlined and approved. This equipment is being installed as the vehicles are brought in for routine maintenance,thereby minimizing the amount of"lost" time for each vehicle. I anticipate full use within the next ninety days. I am requesting that the amount spent be reimbursed by the Housing Authority so that we may continue to maintain the $15,000 special fund account. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call me. Thank you for your continuing support. 90/EO'd OSLE ETE OTS ddIH3HS 00 d1S00 UdiN00.
