CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino ratifying the
application for, and authorizing the Police Department to accept and implement, if awarded, a
Seatbelt Enforcement Mini-grant from the State of California Office of Traffic Safety in the
amount of$34,374.24.
BACKGROUND
The California Office of Traffic Safety, through a partnership with the University of
California Berkley, is currently awarding grant funds to local jurisdictions in the form of
seatbelt enforcement mini-grants. As part of both statewide and national efforts to increase
seatbelt use, six seatbelt enforcement saturation patrols will be held during each of two "Next
Generation Mobilization Periods" from November 15-28, 2010, (California Only) and May
23-June 5, 2011, (National).
The grant application process consists of the submission of a preliminary online application
followed by the submission of a signed hard copy of the application. Both of these
applications have been submitted in order to comply with OTS grant application deadlines.
Mini-grant funded seatbelt enforcement saturation patrols have proven effective in the
enforcement of occupant restraint statutes and in educating the public about the dangers of
traveling in vehicles while not properly restrained. The police department has participated in
several of these mini-grant programs. Council Actions 2002-311, 2003-188, 2004-84, 2004-
368, 2006-25, 2006-442, 2008-56, 2008-330 and 2009-301 are the most recent.
After conducting an evaluation of available resources and developing a deployment strategy,
the Police Department is requesting funding to conduct a total of twelve (12) seatbelt
enforcement saturation patrols under the 2010-2011 "Next Generation — Click It Or Ticket"
seatbelt enforcement mini-grant program. Six (6) saturation patrols will be conducted during
the California mobilization period and six (6) saturation patrols will be conducted during the
national mobilization period. Overtime funding will include one supervisor, one detective,
five officers, and one community service officer position. Proposed overtime and benefits
will be $2,864.52 per saturation patrol. There is no matching fund requirement on the part of
the city.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Grant revenue in the amount of $34,374.24. There is no financial impact to the City's
General Fund. Please note this amount does not indicate available funding. A Police
Department budget account will be established upon the acceptance of the grant award.
Account 123-XXX-5015-0000-0081 budget $50,653.74 (grant account number to be
determined). Balance as of September 20, 2010, is $0.00; balance after approval of this item
$34,374.24
