COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Date: Agenda Item: Subject:
December 19, 2016 9bii I.G.A. with the Colorado Department
of Transportation -Traffic Safety
Education and Enforcement Projects
Initiated By: Staff Source:
Police Department Commander Sam Watson
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
City Council has previously approved the Police Department to receive funding from the
Colorado Department of Transportation for a variety of traffic safety education and
enforcement programs (Ordinance No.1, Series of 2014).
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Police Department is recommending that City Council adopt a Bill for an Ordinance (on
second reading) authorizing the Englewood Police Department to accept state and federal
funding from the Colorado Department of Transportation for traffic safety enforcement and
education projects for calendar years 2017 through 2019.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The Colorado Department of Transportation (COOT) has solicited police departments
throughout the State of Colorado, including the Englewood Police Department, to participate in
traffic safety education and enforcement programs. COOT provides both State funding and
Federal pass-through funding for these programs. COOT often gives very little notice when they
announce their safety campaigns; therefore this is a comprehensive request for all CDOT
projects initiated with this funding in 2017, 2018, and 2019.
We actively participate in state funded enforcement programs such as the High Visibility
Impaired Driving Enforcement Program. We also participate in federally funded traffic safety
education and enforcement programs such as the Mini-Grants Program and the "Click It or
Ticket" Program.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
State funding comes directly from COOT. Federal funding is from the U.S. Department of
Transportation (USDOT), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), State and
Community Highway Safety Grant Program and is passed through COOT.
Overtime costs for police officers are reimbursed to the Englewood Police Department by
COOT. This funding allows us to be more proactive in our enforcement efforts throughout the
year.
The amount of funding varies by year. In 2016, we are due to receive approximately $31,603.
