MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
91
FROM:
Scott Harr, Public Safety Director
DATE:
July 17, 1998
SUBJECT:
Safe and Sober Grant Resolution
This memo is to request that the city council pass the attached resolution authorizing
Chanhassen's involvement in continuing SAFE & SOBER COMMUNITIES
supplemental traffic safety efforts during the period between October 1, 1998 through
September 30, 1999. The City ofChanhassen has been fortunate enough to participate
in Safe and Sober efforts with neighboring jurisdictions over the years. increasing
traffic safety enforcement efforts at no cost to us.
BACKGROUND
The Safe and Sober program provides state funding to law enforcement agencies to
employ off-duty officers to concentrate on particular pre-determined areas of
enforcement. This would include "driving while intoxicated" efforts, speed
enforcement, and seat belt enforcement.
As has been the case in the past, the Carver County Sheriff s Office acts as a fiscal
agent and administrator of this grant, so Chanhassen not only is not required to
provide any payment for this effort, but we are not required to do the administrative
work either. We simply submit the overtime pay request for Bob or Kerri, and the city
receives payment.
I will schedule a presentation by the Carver County Grant Coordinator on the Safe and
Sober program for the August Public Safety Commission Meeting. I invite you to
attend this meeting.
RECOMMENDA nON
It is the recommendation of staff that this resolution be passed permitting Chanhassen
to continue its involvement in the Safe and Sober program.
