MEMORANDUM
TO: Tukwila City Council M~embers/N
FROM: Lieutenant D.J.
DATE: July 8, 2004
SUBJECT: 2004 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG)
As in years past, the City of Tukwila is once again eligible for a Local Law Enforcement Block
Grant from the United States Department of Justice. The grant amount for FY 2004 is $10,831. The
purpose of these funds is to reduce crime and improve public safety. The application period opened
on June 28, 2004 and will close on Jtuly 23, 2004.
As part of the grant process, the City Council must approved a resolution authorizing the Mayor to
make formal application to obtain the LLEBG and we are obligated to bold a public hearing
regarding the proposed use of the grant funds. The public hearing offers concerned persons the
opportunity to make written and oral comments regarding their view on how the grant funds should
be utilized.
In addition, a grant mandated LLEBG Advisory Board would be convened the week of July 19-23,
2004. The board will make non;binding recommendations on how they believe the grant funds
should be spent.
Previous years funds have been used to support a contract for domestic violence advocacy. No
decision has been made at this point whether to continue using grant funding for this purpose.
Information from the public hearing and the LLEBG Advisory Board will be presented to the City
Administration to assist in identifying the proper use of FY 2004 funds.
