2 RECOMMENDATION It is requested that the City Council approve the attached motion and resolution accepting and appropriating $440, in grant funds from the Office of Traffic Safety for the "Selective Traffic Enforcement Program" to be conducted by the Glendale Police Department. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS The Police Department has been notified that our application for grant funding from the State of California Office of Traffic Safety for additional education and enforcement activity was approved in the amount of $440, The funding is utilized to pay police officer, community service officer, support staff, and supervisor overtime when conducting field based education and enforcement activity between October 1, 2015, and September 30, 2016, under the terms and conditions of the grant. The primary focus of this grant is enforcement for distracted driving, primary collision factor violations, bicycle and/or pedestrian collisions, seat belt violations, motorcycle related violations and enforcement against driving under the influence. The grant also includes an educational component focusing efforts on traffic safety for the community as well as officer education and recertification in the areas of Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFTS), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) and Drug Recognition Expert (DRE). The City of Glendale and the Glendale Police Department have a longstanding tradition of proactive enforcement with respect to traffic related issues including efforts directed at both pedestrian and speed related violations. Distracted driving, especially where drivers talk on cell phones without hands free devices or text while driving, has also become an issue and the subject of increased enforcement efforts. Past efforts to improve safety in this area have included saturation patrols and task forces; some of which were funded by prior Office of Traffic Safety grants. The Police Department believes additional education and enforcement will assist in reducing the accident rate in Glendale. This grant will augment the Police Department's resources and aid in implementing a comprehensive approach to improving traffic safety. As part of its ongoing efforts, the Police Department continues to actively seek funding sources to support traffic safety initiatives. In September 2015, the Police Department submitted a grant request to the California Office of Traffic Safety for a program designed to increase enforcement that concentrates in the areas of speed violations and distracted driving. After reviewing the proposal through a competitive process, the Office of Traffic Safety has advised us that the City of Glendale is eligible for $440, in funding for this program. The majority of the grant funding will be utilized for specialized task force operations. The grant includes funding for forty-four (44) enforcement based task force operations. Of these operations, seven (7) will be comprised of DUI/Driver's License checkpoints, fifteen (15) will be saturation patrols concentrating on impaired driving and six (6) Traffic Enforcement operations, including but not limited to, primary collision factor violations. Two (2) enforcement operations will focus on distracted driving (cell phone use/texting) violations and another ten (10) will focus on areas or events with a high number of bicycle and/or pedestrian collisions resulting from violations made by bicyclists, pedestrians, and drivers. The grant also requires two (2) highly publicized Motorcycle Safety enforcement operations in areas or during events with a high number of motorcycle incidents or collisions resulting from unsafe speed, DUI, following too closely, unsafe lane changes, improper turning, and other primary collision factor violations by motorcyclists and other drivers. There will also be one (1) warrant service operation targeting multiple DUI offenders who fail to appear in court and one (1) court sting operation to cite individuals driving from court after having their driver's licenses suspended or revoked. 2

3 Again this year, there is an objective to conduct four (4) Traffic Safety educational presentations with an effort to reach 200 community members. The grant also provides for the purchase of new LIDAR speed measurement devices. FISCAL IMPACT The City will contribute the administrative time required to comply with the terms and conditions of the grant. The overtime costs associated with the education and enforcement activity conducted under the auspices of this program are funded through the grant, and there is no requirement to provide matching funds. The $440,000 grant funding will be received into revenue account G52043 and expended via overtime expense account G52043 as detailed in the attached Resolution of Appropriation for Selective Traffic Enforcement Program. The grant funds will cover reimbursement of all grant activities with the exception liability insurance which is 3.36% of each dollar paid in overtime. The unreimbursed costs to the City will be absorbed into the Police Department's General Fund budget in The following table provides a summary of the costs related to all of the grant related activities: Anticipated total cost Grant Reimbursement Cost to GPD $450,975 $440,000 $ 10,975 ALTERNATIVES Alternative 1: Approve as requested by the Police Department Alternative 2: The City Council may consider any other alternative not proposed by staff.
