AGENDA #5g


Title of Agenda Item: Orange County Alcoholic Beverage Control Funds (R-7) (O-4)

Council Goal Four: Maintain and Improve Community Facilities and Services

Background: Orange County ABC Board Grant funds are used to support the Police Department’s ABC law enforcement efforts. Officers use the funds to attend training in identifying and preventing alcohol related crimes, to purchase dedicated computer equipment needed to store alcohol offense case data and to provide audio/visual aids for community training as well as departmental in-service training. In addition, recording and surveillance equipment would also be purchased for use while conducting alcohol compliance and enforcement operations. Funds may also be used for overtime expenses for additional officers during special patrols and other alcohol enforcement operations.

Fiscal Note: The budget ordinance would amend the Police Department's operating budget by $19,050 to support the Police Department’s alcohol law enforcement efforts.

Recommendations: That the Council consider adopting a resolution and enacting a budget ordinance amendment authorizing the acceptance of the Orange County Alcoholic Beverage Control Boards funds.
