Executive Summary
On October 5, 2006, the Police Department received notice that we were eligible for a $6,000 Impaired Driving Mobilization Grant (IDM). This grant is a cooperative effort between the Texas Department of Transportation, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and law enforcement agencies throughout the State. Grant funds are to be used to conduct DWI enforcement waves during holiday periods to increase DWI awareness as part of the statewide “Drink, Drive, Go To Jail” campaign and in conjunction with the national Impaired Driving Mobilization Campaign. Holiday periods include Christmas, New Year’s, Spring Break, Independence Day, and Labor Day. This grant requires no match. The grant period is from December 13, 2006 through September 20, 2007. Resolution 06-50 attached designates the City Manager as the authorized official to sign the grant document and authorizes a budget adjustment of $6,000 in revenues and expenditures.
