FROM: Craig Frizzell, Detective Services Commander
Bob McDonell, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF ORANGE COUNTY HEALTH CARE AGENCY
FUNDS FOR USE IN ADDRESSING ALCOHOL RELATED ISSUES IN
THE COMMUNITY.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Accept funds for administrative purposes from the Orange County Health Care
Agency, Alcohol and Drug Education and Prevention Team (ADEPT) in the
amount of $10,000. The funds will be used for compliance checks and
enforcement of State and Municipal alcoholic beverage control violations in the
Community.
2. Authorize the Administrative Services Director to establish revenue and

DISCUSSION:
Background:
The Police Department is required to spend a substantial amount of time and resources
on alcohol- related events. In 2006, approximately 40% of all arrests in the City of
Newport Beach were for alcohol- related offenses. As a result, Police Department staff
has identified the need for an increased focus on alcohol - related issues and training as
an ongoing objective.
Over the last several years, the Department has been working in collaboration with
representatives from County of Orange Health Care Agency Alcohol and Drug
Education and Prevention Team (ADEPT) and the University of California Irvine in an
attempt to develop strategies to deal with alcohol- related problems that create a
negative impact on our Community. By compiling data on those types of events
gleaned from multiple reporting resources, the Police Department will identify a number

of alcohol serving establishments which are responsible for elevated numbers of
intoxicated patrons creating a negative impact on the Community. The data collected
will result in more focused enforcement at those problem establishments.
The personnel assigned to the project will report their findings and work in conjunction
with ADEPT and the University of California Irvine State Incentive Grant Project (SIG).
Those findings will also be brought to the attention of the selected establishments by
ADEPT and SIG participants in an effort to jointly develop solution /resolution strategies.
Once the resolution strategies have been put into place, Department staff will revisit
those locations and verify whether they are effective in correcting the problems
identified.
The funds provided by the Orange County Health Care Agency /ADEPT will be used to
fund actual overtime costs for individuals working the assignment, allowing more time
and attention to be focused on a mutually shared goal — the reduction of alcohol related
incidents in the Community.
