Supplanting of local funds prohibited (Repealed)

State funds from the safe neighborhoods program may not be used to supplant local funds. Supplanting is defined as the use of grant funds in place of local funds currently budgeted for an activity and thereby reducing the expenditure of local funds for that activity. Supplanting can also be defined as removing local funds from an activity supported by grant funds with the effect that the activity is not increased or enhanced by the full value of the grant funds applied. All funds awarded under the safe neighborhoods program shall be used to initiate new activities or expand existing efforts with regard to the municipal budget in effect for each fiscal year of the grant. In addition, because this is a multi-year program, cities are expected to at least maintain the level of services provided with city funds to their safe neighborhoods project areas throughout the life of the grant. This section shall not apply to funds in excess of the 75% rate in fiscal year 1995-1996 and the 50% rate in fiscal year 1996-1997 for each police officer position received by municipalities whose initial safe neighborhoods program grants were issued in fiscal year 1993-1994.
