offered by the State of Minnesota. This year the Mound PD has been requested by
seven other agencies to participate in a new grant that encompasses the Lake
Minnetonka Area. The grant allows each city involved to put more emphasis on traffic
safety by placing extra squad cars out on the streets for traffic enforcement. Each
"wave" of enforcement has a goal (speed, seatbelt use, impaired driving, etc.). The
money reimburses each city for the officers' wages at the overtime rate and also
includes monies to offset some operating costs.

the Safe and Sober Program and grant process, and authorize execution of said
resolution on behalf of the City of Mound. All voted in favor. Motion carried.
