Re: ABC-OTS Grant Program
Dear Sergeant Siqueiros:
Congratulations. Your agency has been selected to participate in the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control's ABC-OTS Grant Program. Funding for this project is provided by the Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
We anticipate operations to begin upon completion of the one-day mandatory training class for your operations officer. Fiscal Officers will be contacted by our Fiscal Coordinator; Kristine Okino for training how to submit claims for reimbursement.
Since the grant starts October 1, 2025, you can make pre-paid travel arrangements on or after that date for your operations officer to attend the training. Pre-paid travel purchased prior to October 1" will not be reimbursed. The information regarding the date, location and authorized per diem rates are enclosed.
To expedite the issuance of your contract, please review and complete the enclosed ABC-OTS Grant Program Information Sheet. In addition, we will also need a resolution from your agency's governing body. Since these resolutions must be put on calendar, we ask that you do so as soon as possible. For your convenience attached is a sample resolution format.
Please mail, or email the Grant Information Sheet to our Grant Coordinator; Diana Fouts-Guter, at 3927 Lennane Drive, Suite 100, Sacramento, CA 95834, or at [email protected].
