SUMMARY:
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has informed the Pueblo Police
Department that funds are available for a “High Visibility Enforcement Grant.” The term
of this grant covers the period from July 2016 through June 2017.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Previous grants of this nature have routinely been approved each year.
BACKGROUND:
This grant, if approved, will allow the Pueblo Police Department to increase its efforts in
DUI enforcement. We anticipate that a continued enforcement presence will be needed
to have a long lasting impact on DUI problems, and HVE funding will allow the dedication
of full time officers to traffic issues.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
This grant will require staff time for project management and reporting.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
There is no stakeholder process required for this grant.
ALTERNATIVES:
Decline the CDOT Grant offer.

Approval of the Resolution.
