Subject:

Discussion and possible action to accept a grant from the Texas Department of Transportation in the amount of $10,000.00 for the 2019 Click It Or Ticket Campaign, designating the Webb County Judge as the authorized official in all matters related to this grant, and any other matters incident thereto. All required documents were sent for review through the Economic Development Department and the solicitation is compliant with the Webb County Single Point of Contact (SPOC) procedures. [Requested by Mike Villarreal, Constable Pct. 2]

Issue: Texas Law requires drivers and passengers regardless of where they are seated in a vehicle to be secured by a safety belt or a safety seat for children under the age of 8, unless they are 4 feet 9 inches tall. However many drivers and passengers off all ages continue to ride in a motor vehicle without a safety belt or safety seat.

Solution: Constable Pct. 2 has been awarded a state grant so it can join forces with other State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies to aggressively enforce the seat belt laws in Web County.

Result: To increase occupant restraint use in all passenger vehicles and trucks by conducting an intense occupant protection enforcement and public information and education effort during the enforcement period.
