Nawrocki and Members of City Council CC: Sam Azad, City Manager VIA: Gina Dutcher, City Clerk FROM: Police Chief Luis Velez – Police Department SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION APPROVING AND ACCEPTING A COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION “CLICK-IT-OR-TICKET GRANT,” MAY 2016 THROUGH JUNE 2016, ESTABLISHING PROJECT NUMBER PS1603, CLICK IT OR TICKET 2016, TRANSFERRING $4,550 FROM PROJECTS-TO-BE-DETERMINED IN THE PUBLIC SAFETY GRANTS FUND TO PROJECT NUMBER PS1603 SUMMARY: The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has informed the Police Department that funds are available for a “Click-It-Or-Ticket Grant”. The term of this grant covers the period from May 2016 through June 2016. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Previous grants of this nature have routinely been approved each year. 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 seatbelt issues. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: This grant will require staff time for project management and reporting. This grant also pays 100% of eligible expenses and requires no grant match. 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
