TITLE
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF PUEBLO POLICE DEPARTMENT
TO APPLY FOR A 2002 COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
LEAF GRANT FOR DUI ENFORCEMENT.
ISSUE
Should the Pueblo Police Department be allowed to submit a CDOT LEAF Grant in the
amount of $70,720?
RECOMMENDATION
The Police Department recommends approval to continue DUI enforcement efforts.
BACKGROUND
This grant application, if approved, will allow the Police Department to increase its
efforts in DUI enforcement throughout the 2002 grant year. Community awareness
efforts will continue through continued collaboration with the Pueblo DriveSmart
coalition. Additionally, the Minnequa Merchants Association voiced concerns over
alcohol related problems in the Bessemer area. We anticipate that a continued
enforcement presence will be needed to have a long lasting impact on these problems,
and LEAF funding will allow the dedication of full time officers to DUI enforcement in
the Bessemer area.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact to the Police Department or the City of Pueblo. This grant
will cover the cost of the officers involved in DUI enforcement and does not require a
matching amount from the department.
