A RESOLUTION Or' THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, CAL ~RNIA, ENCOURAGING THE CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT
OF REGIONAL PLANNING DISTRICTS.
WHEREAS, The LEAA program has been in existence for over ten
years, and
WHEREAS, California has developed the regional delivery system,
and
WHEREAS, most cities and most counties have participated and
have benefited from the regional system, and
WHEREAS, the new LEAA legislation provides for "Entitlement
Jurisdictions" so that funding can be accomplished with less red tape,
and
WHEREAS, the new legislation effectively reduces the authority
of the state to intervene in local criminal justice activities, and
~EREAS, entitlement jurisdictions consist of:
1. The State;
2. Cities over 100,000 population
3. Counties over 250,000 population; and
4. Any combination of such units within at least 250,000
population; and
WHEREAS, there are approximately thirty-seven entitlement
jurisdictions as set forth under 2 and 3 above, and
WHEREAS, over four hundred other jurisdictions are dependent
upon the state for LEAA funding unless they join together, and
WHEREAS, fragmentation of the criminal justice system must be
avoided, and
WHEREAS, the joining of individual cities and counties together
in entitlement jurisdictions will enhance local control and maximize the
use of LEAA funds, and
WHEREAS, the joining together of cities and counties into
entitlement jurisdictions will make the combinations equal to the state
but not autonomous.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Rancho Cucamonga
does endorse the concept of cities and counties joining together and
creating an entitlement jurisdiction,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City of Rancho Cucamonga urges the
California League of Cities (or the County Supervisors Association of

of entitlement jurisdictions.
NOW, THEREFORE, The City of Rancho Cucamonga supports the

Autonomous" and urges those recommendations to be an integral part
of the implementation of the Law Enforcement Assistance Reform Act in
the State of California.
