Title

Fundraiser for Drunk Driving Intervention Program (B)

This item was brought up during Citizen Comment by Mr. Jaret Geiger.

Explanation

The City Commission referred the issue of the Drunk Driving Intervention Program to the City Manager.  The Gainesville Police Department prepared a response after contacting Mr. Geiger.  Mr. Geiger is with BUZZ radio station and expressed the radio station's intention to hold a fundraiser in the Fall to raise money to provide free cab rides to individuals who have had too much to drink.  The Public Safety Committee discussed the police department's response memo during a meeting on February 16, 2006. The original request from Mr. Geiger and GPD's response are included in the back-up.  Commissioner Donovan (the only Commissioner present) felt Gainesville Police Department's response was complete and appropriate.

Recommendation

The City Commission receive the Public Safety Committee's report and take any action deemed appropriate.
