RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2015/88 authorizing the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to apply for and accept grant funding from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) in an initial amount of $100,000 to provide proactive enforcement and training to ABC licensed businesses effective July 1, 2015 until grant funds are no longer available.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No net County costs. $100,000 revenue: 100% State.

BACKGROUND:

This grant will provide the Office of the Sheriff additional staffing and resources to institute proactive enforcement and training of ABC licensed businesses. Enforcement operations will target sales to minors, unlicensed sales, sales to intoxicated persons, purchase of alcohol with food stamps, illegal gaming, prostitution, and narcotics in licensed establishments. Expectations include a decline in alcohol-related crimes and arrests, with an overall reduction in the number of police calls for service countywide.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Office of the Sheriff would not be able to accept funding for proactive enforcement and training to ABC licensed businesses.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
