Prepared By: Kathe Bishop,Management Assistant 46
SUBJECT: APPROVE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL GRANT
APPLICATION SUBMITTAL .
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Authorize staff to submit a grant application proposal to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control (ABC).
DISCUSSION
The ABC anticipates offering $1.5 million in grants for fiscal year 2001/02 (see attachment 1).
A major goal of the Police Department is to reduce underage consumption of alcoholic beverages
in our community. Funding provided by ABC would provide for reimbursement of police officer
overtime for special enforcement activities working closely with ABC investigators utilizing
enforcement strategies that target the illegal purchasing of alcoholic beverages, as well as the
illegal sale of alcoholic beverages. Staff is currently preparing the grant proposal, including
detailed objectives, to request approximately $60,000- $75,000 in grant funding. The grant
proposal deadline is February 28, 2001.
Per the City's Grant Management Policy, at this time, staff requests approval from the City
Council to submit a grant application to the ABC. If selected for funding, staff will return to the
City Council requesting adoption of a resolution authorizing the City to enter into a contract with
the State.
FISCAL IMPACT
The grant would provide full reimbursement for personnel overtime pay and benefits, plus
equipment and operation costs. This would result in no negative fiscal impact to the City.
ALTERNATIVE
Continue with current levels of alcohol enforcements within existing City budget resources and
do not seek this grant funding. Staff does not recommend this alternative as the ABC grant is a
funding opportunity that supports Police Department goals, consistent with City goals and
objectives.
