This grant will be utilized for specific DWI enforcement during designated dates. This year's grant will allow the City to be reimbursed for expenses up to a maximum of twelve thousand one hundred and thirty one dollars ($12,131) in overtime costs, with City contributions for employee benefits, administrative and vehicle usage costs. This award is six thousand one hundred thirty one dollars ($6,131) more than the Department had anticipated based on last year's grant award, which was less than six thousand dollars ($6,000). As such, the Police Department grant fund for this project will need to be amended from the originally estimated $6,000 to the amount actually awarded, $12,131, in order to account for the additional monies being given to the Police Department by the HGAC. Staff recommends accepting this grant and authorizing Finance to include it in the upcoming quarterly budget amendment. Action Required by Council: 1. Consider approval or other action authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement for participation in the Regional DWI Task Force; and 2. Consider approval or other action to authorize a budget amendment to increase the grant account from $6,000 to $12,131 Approved for City Council Agenda Corby D. Alexander, City Manager Date C
