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 2017 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 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
