Executive
Summary |
||||
|
On October 23, 2007, the Police Department received notice that we were eligible for a $10,000 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 arrests and earned media activity as part of the statewide “Drink, Drive, Go To Jail” campaign and in conjunction with the national Impaired Driving Mobilization Campaign. This grant requires no match. The grant period is from December 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008. Staff requests City Council approve Resolution 08-01 designating the City Manager as the authorized official to sign the grant document, and also requests approval of a budget adjustment in the amount of $10,000. |
