11-02-2010 - 2010-2011 O.T.S. "Click It or Ticket" Mini-Grant - Item 7 staff report (2).docCity of West Covina
Memorandum
AGENDA
TO: Andrew G. Pasmant, City Manager ITEM NO. 7
and City Council DATE November 2, 2010
FROM: Frank J. Wills, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: 2010-2011 O.T.S. “CLICK IT OR TICKET” MINI-GRANT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council accept the 2010-2011 “Click It Or Ticket” Mini-grant from the State Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) and appropriate $3,799.04 into 207.31.3120.5113
for seatbelt enforcement overtime.
DISCUSSION:
To date, the Police Department has obtained several competitive seatbelt enforcement grants from the State Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). This type of grant exclusively funds overtime
for enforcing seat belt compliance, and no other costs (e.g., equipment, travel, etc.) are allowed by OTS.
The Police Department recently obtained a new grant of $3,799.04 to continue these seatbelt enforcement activities during the upcoming coordinated mobilization periods in November 2010
and May/June 2011. As with past OTS grants, an appropriation must be made in this amount, before the Police Department conducts the grant funded activities and submits for reimbursement
from the State.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This grant will fund up to $3,799.04 for overtime enforcement and reporting of mandated data, with no local match and thus no burden on the General Fund. As with all OTS grants, the
funds are reimbursable, meaning that the City must first appropriate funds and incur expenses before OTS will reimburse them.
