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 July 2019 through June 2020.
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
seatbelt enforcement. We anticipate that a continued enforcement presence will be
needed to have a long lasting impact on those who fail to wear their seatbelts. We have
responded to many serious injury or fatal accidents where the occupants have not been
wearing their seatbelts and CDOT funding will allow the dedication of full time officers to
address these 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. Costs associated with this
grant will be paid for by the Police Department’s operating budget.
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.
