Due to the availa- bility of additional funds through the State Office of Traffic Safety, they have offered to increase our grant from two officers to three. If accepted, this would mean that during the first year of the grant, the full salary and associated costs including equipment for three officers would be financed by the State. During the second year, the State would pay for half of the total cost with the City paying the other half. The additional appro- priation needed to increase the grant from two to three officers would be $33,460. Advantages of increasing the grant from two to three officers are as follows: Allows expansion in coverage to include both early morning and late evening traffic congestion. 2. Allows continued coverage during vacation and sick leave periods. 3. Increases the number of times when we can utilize a team enforcement concept. This would result in maximum effort at critical locations and should result in greater officer safety. When the grant terminates at the end of the second year, we would have several options to consider: If the program has been proven effective, we would want to keep it as a City fully-funded program. 2. If, at the end of two years, it cannot be shown that the program is effective, it could be discontinued with the trained officers absorbed into the regular strength of the department through attrition. continued on Supplemental Page 2 tXH1tS11J Agreement Resolution X Ordinance_ Plat Notification ListR~ Other ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT: Af.tached,_ Submitted o;'d~ FINANCIAL IMPACT First year cost of $100,900 fully funded by the grant; second year cost of $78,000 with grant of 50% and City assuming 50% ($39,000). STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt resolution approving modified grant application and amending 1977-78 budget appropriating an additional $33,460. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION COUNCIL ACTION Continued to the meeting of 10/18/77 Resolution passed with the provision that there will be an evaluation report back to the Council at an appropriate time to be determined by the staff. Supplemental Page 2 Item No. =fig= 13 10/18/77 Meeting of =Ftf~F/~F Attachment I indicates the budget changes that would be needed if the grant is increased to three officers. This figure of $33>460 includes $600 for special wearing apparel for the already budgeted two officers, which was not included in the original grant application. It should be noted that if the third officer is added, the second year cost to the City will increase by $12,945 by reason of grant provisions requiring 50% participation by the City during the second year.
