Agenda Item Text:
Approve contract number 2012-DOJ-015(2011) from the Governor's Office of Highway Safety which provides the Sheriff's Office with $5,000 in overtime and equipment costs to conduct underage alcohol enforcement and education with a grant period of June 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012.
Background:
This grant is an annual event from the Governor's Office of Highway Safety. This grant provides $4,000 in overtime and ERE, and $1,000 in capital outlay, to allow the Sheriff's Office to conduct underage alcohol enforcement and education. These funds are used to pay overtime for deputies working covert underage buyer (CUB) details, which conducts enforcement towards establishments that sell alcohol to underage buyers. The funds are also used to pay overtime for deputies conducting youth alcohol education events at schools. The capital outlay of $1,000 is earmarked to the purchase of "fatal vision goggles." When worn, these goggles simulate the vision of a person who is impaired by alcohol. Students wear the goggles and, accompanied by a deputy, attempt to drive a golf cart through a course laid out with traffic cones. This allows the students to experience how alcohol impairment can effect their ability to operate a vehicle.
There are no matching funds associated with this grant. By the time the grant is received at BOS, it will have been approved as to form by Terry Bannon, Deputy County Attorney.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Once approved by the BOS and final approval is given by GOHS, the Sheriff's Office will engage in youth alcohol education events and will conduct underage alcohol enforcement details.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If not approved, the funding provided by GOHS will not be available, thus any education or enforcement activity that occurs will be a cost borne by the general fund.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Upon approval please return both original copies to the Sheriff's Office so they can be forwarded to GOHS.
