A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DOWNEY TO JOIN WITH OTHER CITIES IN LOS ANGELES
COUNTY TO FORM AN LEAA ENTITLEMENT JURISDICTION
WHEREAS, the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration Program
has been in existence for over 10 years, and most counties have
participated and benefited from California's regional delivery
system for LEAA funds; and
WHEREAS, the new LEAA legislation provides for entitlement
jurisdictions so that funding can be accomplished with less red
tape and effectively reduces the authority of the state to
intervene in local criminal justice activities; and
WHEREAS, entitlement jurisdictions consist of (1) state,
(2) cities, (3) counties, and (4) any combinations of such units
with at least 100,000 population; and
WHEREAS, fragmentation of the criminal justice system must
be avoided, and the joining of individual cities and /or counties
together in entitlement jurisdictions will enhance local control
and maximum use of LEAA funds, and will make the combinations
equal to the state but not autonomous; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by the City of Downey that it chooses to join
together with other cities in Los Angeles County to create a
combination of governmental units totaling a population of at
least 100,000 and form an entitlement jurisdiction.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 26th day of February , 1980.
