Commission approves county sheriff’s office application for ‘Make It Click’ seatbelt enforcement grant
Summary
The board approved an application for a Nebraska Office of Highway Safety mini grant for high-visibility seatbelt enforcement, authorizing necessary signatures for a $6,000 five-day mobilization.
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners approved the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office applying for a Nebraska Office of Highway Safety mini grant — known as the "Make It Click" high-visibility seatbelt enforcement mobilization — expected to fund a five-day enforcement mobilization.
Deputy Chris McCauley briefed the board on the late notice and the department’s plan. McCauley said the office is seeking $6,000 to support a short, five-day seatbelt enforcement effort and that the state is returning to individual grant awards rather than a single lump-sum distribution. He told commissioners the county has been historically successful in obtaining these mobilization funds.
A commissioner moved to approve applying for the grant and to authorize any necessary signatures; the motion passed on a roll call vote. Commissioners emphasized appreciation for sheriff’s office staff taking time to pursue grant funding that supports traffic safety.
