Department:	Constable Precinct 1

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to accept a grant from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDot) in the amount of $11,997.93 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 applied for a grant to aggressively enforce seatbelt laws in Webb County.

Result: The grant was awarded to the Webb County Constable Pct. 1 for overtime pay to aggressively enforce seatbelt laws. Subsequently, for each citation issued by the deputies, the County will generate $5.00 for the General Fund.
