Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves amendment one to a Community-Based Traffic Safety Enforcement and Education grant from the Tennessee Highway Safety Office to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department. The grant, as approved by Resolution No. RS2025-1535, funds community-based efforts that employ highly visible and sustained enforcement coupled with community outreach events to address impaired driving and other unsafe behaviors.
This amendment would decrease the amount of the grant by $144,000 from $719,999.99 to $575,999.99 due to a decrease in available federal funds. This amendment would additionally update the grant budget and Federal Award Identification Worksheet to reflect the decreased funds. The grant term is unaffected and will end on September 30, 2026.
