RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/142 approving and authorizing the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, in an initial amount of $62,525 to fund proactive enforcement targeting the unauthorized sale of alcoholic beverage by businesses within the County for the period July 1, 2018 through the end of the grant funding.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Initial revenue of $62,525 to support continued monitoring and licensing of Alcoholic Beverage Control(ABC) businesses, and to support training and other personnel costs associated with ABC licensed businesses. No matching County funds.

BACKGROUND:

This grant will provide the Office of the Sheriff additional staffing and resources to institute proactive enforcement and training of ABC licensed businesses in areas where the crime rate is higher than the county average. Enforcement operations will utilize a variety of methods to address sales to minors, unlicensed sales, sales to intoxicated persons, purchase of alcohol with food stamps, illegal gaming, 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 County-wide.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Sheriff-Coroner will not be authorized to apply for and accept the grant funding.
