Discuss and take appropriate action to authorize Williamson County Sheriff's Office to participate in the Texas Department of Transportation's Click It or Ticket (CIOT) Program from May 23 to June 5, 2017. 

Texas Department of Transportation offers an annual CIOT program to increase occupant restraint use in all passenger vehicles and trucks by conducting an intense occupant protection enforcement and public information and education effort during the enforcement period. Law enforcement agencies approved to participate in the program will conduct a pre-media campaign followed by an enforcement period and post-media campaign. Approved agencies will be reimbursed for associated costs and are not required to provide any kind of match.

To properly distribute available funds, TXDOT asked law enforcement agencies interested in participating in the program to submit preliminary information for review.  The Sheriff's Office is eligible to be reimbursed up to $12,013.92 if the Commissioners Court approves our participation in the 2017 program. Expenses eligible for reimbursement include salaries and fringe benefits for employees and travel costs.
