Agenda Item Text:
Approve Governor's Office of Homeland Security (GOHS) Contract 2017-CIOT-006, providing the Cochise County Sheriff's Office with $9,260 to cover overtime expenses as well as employee related expenses to participate in the two week "Buckle Up Arizona... It's the Law" program which will occur May 22, 2017 through June 4, 2017.
Background:
Motor vehicle collisions continue to be the leading cause of death injury and property damage in Arizona and the United States. A number of factors contribute to the risk of collisions including; vehicle design, speed of operation, road design, road environment, driver skill and/or impairment and driver behavior. The human factor that has consistently been identified in reducing collisions and minimizing their effects is the consistent use of seat belts and child safety seats. This grant is valued at $9,260.00 as provided by the Governor's Office of Highway Safety. It should be noted that Assistant County Attorney, Lauri Owens has reviewed and approved of this contract.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
If approved, the funds will be deployed in a manner consistent with the grant requirements in support of the Buckle Up Az campaign, with overtime and employee related expenses being covered.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If not approved, the Cochise County Sheriff's Office will not be able to deploy resources in support of the Buckle Up AZ campaign, as the budget and standard staffing levels will not permit.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Please return two contracts with original signatures as provided.
