OTS funding is based on the federal fiscal year starting October 1, 2013. The grant application requesting overtime reimbursement will become operational on October 1, 2013, and end September 30, 2014. Updated: 6/25/2013 by Linda Sutherland Packet Pg. 186 2539 This item was presented to the Grants Ad Hoc Committee then forwarded on to council for consideration. On January 7, 2013, the Mayor and Common Council approved Resolution #2013-3, ratifying the submittal of the application, as well as authorizing the police department to accept and administer the grant in the amount of$211,169.59 provided grant funding is awarded. In the interim, additional traffic enforcement details were identified as being available and the requested funding was increased. OTS notified the police department they have tentatively approved our funding request for the proposal titled"Selective Traffic Enforcement Program" in the amount of approximately$256,942,which is an increase of$45,772.41 from the amount approved under this Resolution. Staff recommends an increase to the original STEP Grant budgeted amount, as approved by OTS. These funds will be used to reimburse overtime expenses used to conduct a variety of traffic enforcement details such as saturation patrols targeting impaired drivers,motorcycle safety enforcement programs, distracted driver programs, and other traffic related details as will be outlined by the grant agreement. These programs are intended to reduce traffic collisions within the city,reducing the number of people killed or injured as the result of a traffic collision.
