City Council authorize appropriation of $263,145 from unappropriated reserves for equipment purchase and personnel to implement the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grant for additional traffic/ DUI enforcement. 2. City Council authorize acceptance of OTS funds in the amount of $188,966 to offset the above appropriation. BACKGROUND ,. The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) h~s approved a grant to the Tustin Police Department which will increase traffic enforcement within the City of Tustin. The purpose of the grant is to impact the traffic accident rate and increasing driving-under-the-influence (DUI) enforcement. · ' We requested two additional motorcycle police officers to form a permanent DUI Team, a nonsworn traffic investigator, and a records clerk to support the additional enforcement personnel. The two motorcycle police officers will increase enforcement, while the nonsworn accident investigator will free existing Traffic personnel for additional increased traffic enforce- ment. Hard cost to the City for the grant is as follows' First Year TUSTIN OTS TOTAL Personnel 17,713 174,279 191,992 Equipment Costs 53,516 13,707 67,223 Miscellaneous 2,950 980 3,930 Second Year TUSTIN OTS TOTAL 104,953 87,240 192,193 11,700 1,484 13,184 1,750 140 1,890 TOTAL 74,179 188,966 263,145 118,403 88,864 207,267 As can be ~een in the chart above, OTS will pick.up all personnel costs, except -vhalf of.the cost of the records clerk for the first year. In the second year OTS will pick up one-half of the first year's personnel costs. A change in policy by the OTS has made all equipment purchase the Mr. ~uston - 2 - October 26, 1988 responsibility of th~ agency receiving the grant. While this increases the up-front cost, it does lessen the administrative burden after the grant expires for the depreciation and tracking of equipment in that none is purchased with Grant funds. We have been notified by OTS that funding for our traffic grant has been approved. A commitment must be made by the City to continue the grant after the second year. Due to the East Tustin Development and traffic increases being experienced by the City, the additional manpower, which is necessary now, will be well utilized after the grant expires. Formal bid processes have been completed within the last year on those items where a formal bid was required. The existing vendors will be utilized for the purchase of necessary equipment (see attached). With Council approval, this special enforcement unit should be in place by November 14, 1988.
