Lieutenant Dave Santana presented details of an Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Alcohol Policing Partnership (APP) grant awarded in partnership with the Office of Traffic Safety and recommended the council accept $30,000 for the fiscal 2025–26 grant cycle. The grant will fund overtime for officers to run minor decoy operations, shoulder‑tap operations, on‑site merchant inspections and targeted holiday enforcement to reduce illegal sales to minors and alcohol‑related driving.

Santana described common APP activities — undercover decoy purchases, shoulder tap stings and informed‑merchant inspections — and said no city matching funds are required. He described past enforcement results from a prior grant cycle and county examples to illustrate potential scope: prior cycles visited over 100 premises with several citations, and a recent county‑wide enforcement yielded citations and arrests for on‑site sales to minors.

Council moved and voted to adopt a resolution authorizing the chief of police to accept the grant and make the related appropriation.
