RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/204 approving and authorizing the Sheriff-Coroner or designee, to apply for and accept the Office of the Attorney General, California Department of Justice, Division of Law Enforcement Tobacco Law Enforcement Grant Program in an initial amount of $106,144 for law enforcement operations to decrease juvenile access and use of tobacco products for the period June 1, 2018 through the end of the grant funding period.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Initial Revenue of $106,144; 100% State funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Office of the Attorney General, California Department of Justice, Division of Law Enforcement Tobacco Law Enforcement Grant Program is providing funding to apply strategies that reduce illegal sales and marketing of all tobacco products to minors. According to California Healthy Kids Survey, Contra Costa County 2016 data, thirty-two percent of 11th graders and twenty percent of 9th graders reported that it is "very easy" to obtain tobacco products within Contra Costa County. Beginning July 1, 2018 the Office of the Sheriff will conduct various enforcement operations and prevention projects in order to meet the goals of the grant if state funding is awarded.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to secure state funding will result in less opportunities for the Office of the Sheriff to lower the access and use of tobacco products to juveniles in Contra Costa County.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This grant is to help reduce the access and use of tobacco products, to include e-cigarette and vapor products, and reduce the perception of ease in which these products can be obtained.
