<br />Item No: 8A <br />Meeting Date: July 25, 2011 <br />Type of Business: Consent Agenda <br />Administrator Review: ____ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Thomas Kinney, Chief of Police <br />Item Title/Subject: Authorization to Enter into a Grant Agreement with the MN <br />Institute of Public Health as part of the Alcohol Compliance <br />Check Grant Program <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />The Minnesota Institute of Public Health has been contracted by the Minnesota <br />Department of Public Safety to administer an alcohol compliance check grant program. <br />The Mounds View Police Department applied for and was awarded this grant. The <br />purpose of this grant is to provide funds to law enforcement in order to conduct alcohol <br />checks among all licensed alcohol businesses. A compliance check is a tool to identify <br />alcohol establishments that sell to underage youth. Conducting these periodic checks <br />can ensure that businesses are following proper procedure to avoid selling to an <br />underage person. <br /> <br />The Mounds View Police Department currently conducts these periodic compliance <br />checks. However, this grant can offset some costs incurred during these activities. The <br />department is eligible to receive $30.00 per compliance check, up to a maximum award <br />of $480.00. The term of this grant agreement runs from July 1, 2011 and expires on <br />May 31, 2012. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends the council approve Resolution 7812 authorizing the acceptance of <br />the Alcohol Compliance Check grant. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />__________________ <br />Thomas Kinney <br />Chief of Police <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
