County staff present CDOT Click It or Ticket enforcement grant opportunity
Summary
A presenter described a CDOT Click It or Ticket grant with a listed maximum of $3,000 for seat-belt enforcement during selected months; the program is reimbursement-based and could mirror past DUI enforcement grants with volunteer staffing for shifts.
Unidentified Speaker 5 introduced a CDOT Click It or Ticket grant opportunity to the board, describing it as a small enforcement grant aimed at seat-belt compliance and similar in structure to DUI enforcement grants. "This click it or ticket grant, from what I understand is a maximum of $3,000 on this particular grant, is designed for enforcement on seat belt violations," Speaker 5 said.
Speaker 5 said the initiative would not target the traffic stop itself but would include seat-belt and child-restraint infractions alongside other enforcement; the presenter suggested the county could recruit volunteers from staff for specific enforcement dates in April, May and July and run shifts on a reimbursement basis. The presenter contrasted this grant with a larger DUI grant the county had received previously ("6,000 last year" was referenced) and said once the county participates it could access similar state enforcement dollars in the future.
Board members asked no substantive follow-ups during the presentation. There was no formal motion or vote recorded; staff characterized the grant as an opportunity for the sheriff's office and county enforcement to pursue if desired.
