RECOMMENDATION

1. It is recommended that the City Council adopt the following amendments to the annual Appropriation Ordinance and Funding Sources Resolution in the General Fund as follows:

a) Establish an appropriation in the City-wide Expenses to the Police Department for the Office of Traffic Safety California Seat Belt Compliance Campaign Program Grant in the amount of $49,998; and

b) Increase the Earned Revenue Estimate from the State of California by $49,998.

BACKGROUND

The State of California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) has launched the California Seat Belt Compliance Campaign (CSBCC) to increase seat belt use statewide to a 94% level by June 2004. Through the combined effort of state and local law enforcement, a seat belt enforcement campaign will be conducted in support of the Buckle-Up America. Program.

ANALYSIS

On September 15, 2003 the City applied for participation in the OTS Seat Belt Compliance Campaign grant. On October 4, 2003, the City was notified that our application was approved. The California Seat Belt Enforcement Campaign will be conducted for a fourteen (14) day period in November. The funds provided by this grant would be utilized to increase the level of seat belt enforcement hours on an overtime basis for first line supervisors and officers of the Traffic Enforcement Unit.

PUBLIC OUTREACH

Not applicable.

COORDINATION

This memorandum has been coordinated with the Office of the City Attorney and the Department of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement.

COST IMPLICATIONS

The State of California will provide $49,998 in reimbursements to the City for OTS Seat Belt Compliance related enforcement. The grant term is only for the 14 day enforcement period and will have no ongoing costs associated with its implementation. There is no cash or in-kind match requirement. This Council item is in line with the General Principles of the Mayor’s Budget Strategy to be open to alternative ways to deliver services through appropriate community partnerships.

CEQA
