Memorandum
AGENDA
ITEM NO. 17
DATE December 20, 2011
SUBJECT: 2011-2012 O.T.S. SOBRIETY CHECKPOINT MINI -GRANT
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council accept the Sobriety
Checkpoint grant from the State Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) and appropriate the $11,039.36
grant as follows:
• $10,069.36 into 207.31.3121.5113 (sobriety checkpoint overtime)
• $597 into 207.31.3121.5151 (overtime Worker's Comp benefit)
• $146 into 207.31.3121.5155 (overtime Medicare benefit)
• $10 into 207.3 133 121.5156 (overtime unemployment insurance benefit)
• $217 into 207.31.3121.6220 (police checkpoint supplies)
DISCUSSION:
The Police Department recently obtained a competitive grant for $11,039.36 from the State
Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to conduct several sobriety checkpoints under a statewide alcohol
enforcement campaign. This grant exclusively funds sobriety checkpoints, primarily overtime
along with a small amount of supplies (colored safety vests), during several coordinated
mobilization periods. No other costs are allowed by OTS.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This grant will fund up to $11,039.36 for sobriety checkpoint overtime and reporting of
mandated data, with no local match and thus no burden on the General Fund. This is a
reimbursable grant, meaning that the City must first appropriate funds and incur expenses before
OTS will reimburse them.
