BACKGROUND j The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), through a partnership with the University of California Berkley, is currently awarding grant funds to local jurisdictions in the form of DUI Mini-Grants. As part of a national crackdown on impaired drivers, one checkpoint will be held during each of the holiday mobilization periods from December 17, 2010, to January 2, 2011, (Christmas /New Years) and August 19, 2011, to September 5, 2011, (Labor Day). Four additional checkpoints will be held outside of these mobilization periods. The grant application process consists of the submission of a preliminary online application followed by the submission of a signed hard copy of the application. Both of these applications have been submitted in order to comply with OTS grant application deadlines. Mini-grant funded checkpoints have proven effective in the enforcement of impaired driving statutes and in educating the public about the dangers of impaired driving. The police department has participated in several of these mini-grant programs. Council Actions 2003-260, 2004-287, 2006-321, 2008-284, and 2009-302 are the most recent. After conducting an evaluation of available resources and developing a deployment strategy, the Police Department is requesting funding to conduct a total of six (6) checkpoints under the 2010-2011 DUI mini-grant program. Two (2) checkpoint operations will be held during the national Christmas and Labor Day mobilization periods. Four (4) checkpoint operations will be held outside of these mobilization periods. Overtime funding will include two supervisors, one detective,ten officers, and three community service officer positions. Proposed overtime and benefits will be $8,442.29 per checkpoint. There is no matching fund requirement on the part of the city. FINANCIAL IMPACT Grant revenue in the amount of$50,653.74. There is no financial impact to the General Fund. Please note this amount does not indicate available funding. A Police Department budget account will be established upon the acceptance of the grant award. Account 123-XXX-5015-0000-0081 budget $50,653.74 (grant account number to be determined). Balance as of September 20,2010, is $0.00;balance after approval of this item $50,653.74.
