designed to increase sa#ety belt usage during the 2046 Memorial Day holiday. Enforcement will be
supported by public information and education efforts.

enforcement blitzes and media campaign. There is no requirement for matching funds.

appropriation ordinance and receipt of the grant, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as
appropriated of the Grant Fund.
