Department:	Constable Precinct 1

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to accept a grant from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDot) in the amount of $24,698.82 for the "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.

Issue: Texas law requires drivers and passengers in a vehicle to be secured by a safety belt; yet, many drivers and passengers do not abide by the law.

Solution: The Webb County Constable Pct. 1 was awarded a state grant to aggressively enforce seatbelt laws in Webb County.

Result: The grant will cover overtime pay for the enforcement of seatbelt laws through the “Click It or Ticket” Campaign. Subsequently, for each citation issued by the deputies, the County will generate $5.00 for the General Fund.
