DESCRIPTION: The Altamont Cruisers is an ll-year-old organization composed of classic car devotees. The group is based in Livermore, but is composed of members from the entire Tri-Valley area. The group periodically holds car shows and other social events at various Tri- Valley locations. The purpose of these events is to display classic cars and to generate revenues, through fees and donations, for local charitable organizations and city-sponsored drug abuse resistance programs. On September 27, 1998, the Altamont Cruisers held a car show with over 400 entries and raised $10,500 that will be donated to nine local charities. The group has offered to donate $1,000 of the proceeds to the City of Dublin, provided that the funds are once again used to enhance or expand the City's drug abuse resistance programs. Dublin Police Services currently participates in the nationally sponsored Red Ribbon Week and operates an aggressive and proactive drug abuse resistance program throughout the year. The programs are primarily directed towards Dublin's primary and high schools. In addition to discouraging the use of illicit drugs, the programs also strive to alert children to the potential consequences of drug abuse. The City Council has routinely supported efforts to educate the public as to the consequences of drug use. The expenditure direction recommended by the Altamont Cruisers is entirely consistent with the City's current objectives and past practices. Staff recommends that the City Council accept the gift, approve the budget adjustment, direct staff to formally acknowledge the donor, and direct Police Services staff to use the funds to purchase Red Ribbon Week educational material related to substance abuse. .
