DISCUSSION
On June 2, 2003, the City Council approved the Police Department's award of
a $275,000 grant from the State of California Office of Traffic Safety. The
grant funding allows the Police Department's Traffic Division to deploy a
mobile Driving Under the Influence (DUI) education and driving simulation
classroom custom designed fifth-wheel trailer. The trailer will be taken
to Santa Ana high schools, colleges, and other venues with the goal of
providing an educational program to students ages 15-22. The DUI mobile
classroom will showcase an externally projected wide-screen presentation of
a professionally produced video, and feature contemporary music and content
designed to appeal to the younger driver. The objective of the grant
program is to draw a correlation between the decision to drive while
intoxicated and the unanticipated outcomes, which may be arrest, or
collision resulting in injury or death.
JBM Sport Truck Accessories, a prominent local business leader desires to
contribute to the community and support law enforcement by donating and
installing $5,000 worth of vehicle equipment upgrades to the Police
Department's Ford F-250 Super Duty truck which is used to pull the DUI
education and driving simulation classroom fifth-wheel trailer. This
