Memo
RE: Resolution 55-08 - In Support of a Grant Request to the Attorney General
for Continuation of the D.A.R.E. Program
Summary
In order to assist local law enforcement agencies in presenting the D.A.R.E. program, the
state Attorney General's Office is once again offering matching grant funds. These funds are
specifically earmarked for D.A.R.E. officers' salaries to those agencies that teach the
approved curriculum.
The City is hopeful of receiving $36,000 in funds from the Attorney General's office. It is
important to note that these funds do not require the City to hire additional personnel, but will
enhance the program support. Although the City is required to match these funds, the overall
personnel costs to deliver the program will be reduced.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 55-08 in support of the grant application.
