CITY OF SAN BERNARD160 - REQUEoT FOR COUNCIL AC1 iON
STAFF REPORT
A Memorandum Proposal for funding from the State of
California , Office of Traffic Safety , was approved at the Coun-
cil Meeting of 5- 19-86 , and authorization granted to submit an
application . The Memorandum Proposal outlined a project to in-
ventory all traffic signs , pavement markings , and other traffic
control devices within our streets , to be financed with $60 ,000
from the Office of Traffic Safety.
Mr . Peter Liu , our former Traffic Engineer , resigned in
May , 1987 , before the necessary agreement was finalized . Due to
a shortage of personnel , action on the agreement was deferred .
A new Traffic Engineer , Mr . Anwar Wagdy , has been selected , and
we are now in a position to proceed .
The attached Traffic Safety Project Agreement has been
reviewed and approved by the Office of Traffic Safety . The
agreement provides , in general , that the Office of Traffic Safety
will provide up to $74 ,400 to finance the cost of having a video
log and computerized inventory of all traffic control devices
prepared by a contractor . The Office of Traffic Safety would
prefer that these items of work be done by City Forces , but they
recognize that our staff is not sufficient to take on this task.
The State has requested that the City propose funding into
the third fiscal year . The State has indicated a willingness to
fund additional personnel in the third year if their grant pro-
grams are continued . An IBM compatible micro computer system ,
applicable software , video recorder and playback unit will be
purchased with funds provided under this grant and turned over
to the City .
Contributions by the City will consist of providing coordina-
tion , supervision and administration , and the continuing operation
of the inventory . These functions will be provided by the existing
personnel as a part of their regular duties . Aerial photographs
will also be furnished , at an estimated cost of $30 ,000 . These
photographs will be furnished to the City as a part of the General
Plan update , and will necessitate no additional funds to be
budgeted .
Acquisition of an inventory of traffic control devices will
provide additional information to assist in the defense of liability
claims . Improvement of traffic control devices is expected to
improve the traffic accident rate on our City streets .
In view of the substantial benefits that will be realized
from this grant , and minimal contribution required of the City ,
we recommend that the Traffic Safety Project Agreement be approved .

2 and reflect an accident rate 52% above the state-wide averages. In this same
report, it was stated that the City of San Bernardino ranked 30th on the list of
high accident cities of the 450 cities rated.
Attempts to Solve the Problem:
In the past, attempts to require the Public Services Department to complete a sign
inventory have not been successful . Lack of manpower and the enormity of the pro-
ject, as well as the lack of technically oriented staff or a means to accomplish
the program, have prevented them from even attempting a solution. Traffic Section
staff, limited to four members, is unable to provide the required time or manpower
to assist.
Each budget year, manpower and funds are requested for this work but budget con-
straints prevent this work from being budgeted. Tracking of the work orders is
complete in the Public Works Department but there is no comparable tracking in the
Public Services Department (the department performing the work)
Project Objective:
1. To complete an inventory of all traffic control devices in the City within a
one-year, period.
2. To have this list available on a centralized computer record that will allow
the periodic inspection, management and reporting of the condition of the
inventory and to have this system operational and on line within 2 years.
3. To be able to review the existing inventory, evaluate the installations and
improve those that are substandard or do not provide the level of protection
desired.
4. Improve the traffic safety record by reducing the number of accidents or injury
accidents in the City.
5. To reduce liability by having current information on the installation date,
authorization for installation and conditions of the signs/striping available
and in acceptable form for court documents.
6. To upgrade deficient signs and striping discovered.
7. Improvements to the system, reduction of accidents, ongoing inspection and
evaluation are long term goals to be immediately implemented and continued
for the project life.

stock into legal compliance.
9. Complete quarterly and yearly reports
of effectiveness, accomplishment of
upgrades and litigation defenses.
10. Secure staff to maintain system. 10-15-90 07-10-91
Method of Evaluation
The evaluation of the project will be measured by its compliance with the tasks
defined in the project objective section, that is:
1. Is an inventory for all traffic control devices in the City completed within one
year!
2. Is a computer system operational that will give details on the date of installa-
tion and authority to install devices and provide a useful tool for management
within the City within the two years proposed.
3. With the inventory in place, be able to identify deficient devices and evaluate
existing conditions.
4. Obtain a measurably reduction in the accident rate as it can be related to
control devices and their installation.
5. To obtain an improvement in the condition of the striping and signing in the
community and reduce the number of complaints.
6. Obtain an improvement in the perception of the citizenry as to effectiveness
and usefulness of the control devices and striping. To be measured by reduced
complaints and greater respect of the control devices.
7. Determine the Consultant's compliance with the intent of the contract documents
and his performance of the tasks to be listed within it.
3. To secure a more responsive Traffic Section and increase staff to meet the needs
of the growing community.
Tleasures of the effectiveness of the system will be by the increase or the
anticipated decrease in the accident rates, the reduction in complaints and a higher
rating on both accident rate and sign legal conformance by rating agencies. The
number of deficient signs repaired or replaced yearly will. be available. Additionally,
the Traffic Section will have an ongoing monitoring system and will be able to coor-
dinate the high accident locations with the sign inventory. The evaluation by the
Traffic Section will be measured by the effectiveness of new signing, the modifications
or upgrades to current signing and an over-all improvement in traffic safety within
the City.
