SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION APPROVING AND ACCEPTING A COLORADO
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (CDOT) NIGHTTIME CLICK-IT-OR-
TICKET GRANT, ESTABLISHING PROJECT NUMBER PS1508,
TRANSFERRING FUNDS FROM PROJECTS TO BE DETERMINED, NOT TO
EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF $1,200
SUMMARY:
Attached is a Purchase Order from Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) for funds to
be used for Nighttime Click-It-Or-Ticket 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:
Administration of this grant will require staff time within the Police Department to work
cooperatively with the agencies and professionals at CDOT.
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
