Nawrocki and Members of City Council CC: Sam Azad, City Manager VIA: Gina Dutcher, City Clerk FROM: Luis Velez – Police Department SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION APPROVING AND ACCEPTING A COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (CDOT) CLICK-IT-OR-TICKET MAY MOBILIZATION GRANT, MAY 2015, ESTABLISHING PROJECT NUMBER PS1504, TRANSFERRING FUNDS FROM PROJECTS TO BE DETERMINED, NOT TO EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF $4,500 SUMMARY: Attached is a Purchase Order from Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) for funds to be used for Click-It-Or-Ticket May Mobilization by the Pueblo Police Department, within the City of Pueblo. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Council has routinely accepted this semi-annual grant from CDOT for past seatbelt enforcement funding. BACKGROUND: This grant, if approved, will allow the Police Department to increase its efforts in Seatbelt Enforcement. We anticipate that a continued enforcement presence will be needed to have a long lasting impact on seatbelt problems, and Click-It-Or-Ticket funding will allow the dedication of full-time officers to focus on traffic issues. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There is no financial impact on the City as no match is required for this grant. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: None STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: There is no stakeholder process required for this grant. ALTERNATIVES: Decline the CDOT Grant offer. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Resolution. Attachments: CDOT Purchase Order
