RECOMMENDED ACTION:
City Council adopt Resolution No. 2011-224 authorizing the City Manager or designee to
execute, in the name of the City of Carlsbad Police Department, all necessary forms for the
purpose of applying for grant funding from the California Office of Traffic Safety to conduct two
sobriety checkpoints.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The California Office of Traffic Safety is accepting applications for their Sobriety Checkpoint Mini-
Grant Program for Local Law Enforcement Agencies. The goal of this competitive grant is to
reduce the number of people killed statewide in alcohol-related crashes. The mini-grant is
available for overtime costs associated with conducted sobriety checkpoints during the two
National Impaired Driving Campaign mobilization time periods: December 2011 and late Summer
2012. The grant will also reimburse agencies for checkpoint equipment purchases including traffic
cones and portable lights. If approved, this would be the fourth time the City of Carlsbad Police
Department has received this grant.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If approved, the City of Carlsbad Police Department will apply for all allowable overtime costs
associated with conducting two sobriety checkpoints, as well as checkpoint equipment including
traffic cones and portable lights. If the grant is awarded to the police department, all allowable
costs are fully reimbursable.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project"
within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in
the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and
therefore does not require environmental review.
EXHIBITS:

name of the City of Carlsbad Police Department, all necessary forms for the purpose of
applying for grant funding from the California Office of Traffic Safety to conduct two
