COUNCIL COMMUNICATION Date: Agenda Item: Subject: January 6, 2014 9 a i Colorado Department of Transportation Funding -Traffic Safety Education and Enforcement Projects Initiated By: Staff Source: Police Department Jeff Sanchez, Deputy Chief COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION For a number of years, the Englewood Police Department has participated in a variety of traffic safety education and enforcement programs that are either funded or sponsored by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). We expect to continue our participation in these programs for the foreseeable future. -RECOMMENDED ACTION The Police Department is recommending that City Council adopt a Bill for an Ordinance authorizing the Englewood Police Department to accept both state and federal funding for traffic safety enforcement and education projects for calendar years 2014 through 2016. BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has solicited police departments throughout the State of Colorado, including the Englewood Police Department, to participate in traffic safety education and enforcement programs. CDOT provides both State funding and Federal pass-through funding for these programs. CDOT 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 2014, 2015, and 2016. 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 The state funding is from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). The Federal funding is through U .S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), State and Community Highway Safety passing through to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOTI. .· Overtime costs for police officers are reimbursed to the Englewood Police Department by CDOT. This • funding allows us to be more proactive in our enforcement efforts throughout the year. The amount of funding varies by year. In 2013, we received approximately $43,592.50.
