Subject:Appropriation Adjustment - Avoid the 25 Grant
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
from media coverage of the program. The program has proven to be effective in three
additional Bay Area counties, and has resulted in an increase in DUI arrests with a
reduction in DUI related collisions.
The original grant award was $662,473 and approximately $59,894 was claimed in fiscal
year 2008/09, resulting in a grant balance of $602,579. This request reflects the
remaining balance of the grant award, which has not been appropriated in the
department's fiscal year 2009/10 operating budget.
