Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2024, $14,597)

The City of DeLand will use JAG funds to purchase a new registered street legal golf cart to allow for the Parking Enforcement Officer to use in a dedicated downtown area where public parking is approximately along 28 square blocks that encompasses all County, City and other government offices, and 12 public parking lots. The area experiences a lot of traffic and parking is limited and/or timed. Loading dock areas exacerbate the problem as well. Enforcement using a street legal golf cart will allow the officer to maneuver easily where normal patrol vehicles would be hindered, or cause traffic back up issues in an already very congested area. The cart will also be used during special events where a police presence is needed and patrol vehicles due to street closures as well as in parks where the regular patrol vehicle cannot be driven. A small portion of funds will be used to hire a grant consultant.
