RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to apply for and accept the 2015 Minor Decoy/Shoulder Tap grant from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, in an amount not to exceed $10,000, to fund proactive enforcement targeting the unauthorized sale of alcoholic beverages by businesses within the County for the period October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Revenue up to $10,000 to support continued Minor Decoy/Shoulder Tap Operations and the overtime associated with them.

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, 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 County-wide.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

One activity funded by this grant is targeting the unauthorized sale of alcohol to minors by businesses in the County.
