Police Department <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item <br /> <br />3.5. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Jeffrey A. Beahen, Chief of Police <br /> <br />8-7-03 <br /> <br />Safe and Sober Grant <br /> <br />The Police Department has again been awarded a Safe and Sober Grant. The new grant will <br />be for the period October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004. I am asking that the Council <br />Pass the attached resolution agreeing to enter into the agreement with the Department of <br />Public Safety to participate in the project entitled Safe & Sober Communities. The grant <br />amount for our project is $28,000. <br /> <br />I want to commend Sgt. Jeffrey Mordat for his supervision of this grant process. Jeff has <br />been commended this year by the State of Minnesota for his excellent grant writing and <br />submission of required reports to the Department of Public Safety. He is used as an example <br />for other departments as an excellent project manager and facilitator of the grant process. <br />The caliber of his work allows us to continue to receive the funding which results in safer <br />travel for those who reside in our community. <br /> <br />It should also be noted that our department ranked 8th out of the 288 agencies that took part <br />in the recent seat belt safety campaign for citations issued. Many of the agencies who <br />surpassed out performance were much larger in size. I commend each of our officers who <br />took part in that campaign for their dedication and willingness to work the extra shifts. <br /> <br /> <br />
