ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 6.4
TO: Mayor and Town Council July 15, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 54-2025, accepting $111,521.14 from the California Highway
Patrol for the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program, and authorizing the Town
Manager to execute the Grant Program Agreement
BACKGROUND
In November 2016, California voters passed Proposition 64: The Adult Use of Marijuana
Act. With the passage of Proposition 64, the California voters mandated the state set aside
funding for the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to award grants to local governments and
qualified nonprofit organizations.
Per Revenue and Taxation Code Section 34019(F)(3)(B), funds will be disbursed, “To the
Department of the California Highway Patrol to fund internal California Highway Patrol programs
and grants to qualified nonprofit organizations and local governments for education, prevention and
enforcement of laws related to driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, including
cannabis; programs that help enforcement traffic laws, educate the public in traffic safety, provide
varied and effective means of reducing fatalities, injuries and economic losses from collisions and for
the purchase of equipment related to enforcement of laws related to driving under the influence of
alcohol and other drugs, including cannabis.”
From January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2022, Danville Police made 249 DUI arrests, 65
of which were made after an impaired driver was involved in a traffic collision. Of those 65,
there were 10 that caused injuries to an involved party. In 2024, Danville Police made 83
DUI related arrests and responded to 19 DUI related traffic collisions.
The Town of Danville and Danville Police Department previously participated in the
Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program for the 2023-2024, and 2024-2025 grant cycles. During
those periods grant funding from this program has funded training in DUI Field Sobriety
Test techniques and funded 13 DUI Saturation Patrol Events. These DUI Saturation Patrol
Events resulted in 278 DUI investigative enforcement stops, 10 arrests for DUI related
offenses and 1 arrest for non-DUI related offenses.
The Danville Police Department has received a notice of conditional approval for the 2025-
2026 grant program funding. To be considered, the Town must adopt a Resolution accepting
the award and execute the required documents.

enforcement patrol vehicle.
