The Police Department has recently received notice of a grant award in the amount of
$26,318 from the Califomia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). This one-
year project will target ABC licensees that continually violate ABC and city regulations,
particularly those that allow narcotics activity on their premises.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the activity is not a
"Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will
not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section
15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no
environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
That council adopt the resolution.

DISCUSSION
The Police Department has been awarded $26,318 from the California Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) for a one-year project period of 7/1/2010 to
6/30/2011. The Department will pro actively target ABC problem establishments based
on intelligence gathered by the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) and ABC operations,
commtmity partners, and data from calls for service and reports. Using this intelligence,
CVPD will concentrate resources on those establishments that consistently violate ABC
laws and license conditions. Grant funds will be used to implement a combination of
ABC enforcement strategies and coordinate training for both ABC licensees and patrol
officers. In addition to targeting problem establishments, SIU will coordinate LEAD
(Licensee Education on Alcohol and Drugs) courses, conduct trainings and briefings for
sworn personnel regarding ABC law and enforcement activity, and organize media
announcements of ABC grant activity and impacts in the commooity.
The Department will use grant funds for overtime to combat areas with high crime and
violent and disorder calls associated with ABC licensed establishments. To accomplish
the goal of targeting chronic problem establishments and those that operate in violation of
their license, CVPD will use a multi-agency approach to conduct enforcement operations,
train licensees and sworn personnel, and involve the community with media releases and
public input.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is
not site specific and consequently the 500 foot rule foood in California Code of
Regulations section 18704.2(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution will result in the amendment of the fiscal year 2010/2011
adopted budget of the Police Grant Fund by appropriating $22,322 for overtime costs,
$1,496 for operating expenses, and $2,500 for mandatory conference travel. The funding
from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control will completely offset
these costs, resulting in no net impact to the General Food.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
This is a one-year grant and approval of this resolution will not have an ongoing fiscal
impact.
