The City applied for Selective <br /> Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grant assistance to address unsafe driving issues <br /> in the community, and recently received official confirmation that the grant application <br /> was approved. As a result, the OTS has awarded the City of Pleasanton Police <br /> Department a grant of $50,000 for the period of October 1, 2023, through September <br /> 30, 2024. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution to accept the Selective Traffic <br /> Enforcement Program grant award for $50,000 from the State of California OTS and <br /> authorize the City Manager to execute all documents, and appropriate $40,000 to <br /> project 17803 in the Operations Grant Fund in FY 2023/24. The remaining $10,000 will <br /> be included in the FY 2024/25 biennial budget. <br /> FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br /> Acceptance of the STEP grant award will provide $50,000 in funding to augment the <br /> City's expenditures for the enforcement of persons driving under the influence and <br /> through enforcement operations focusing on primary collision factors. This grant will <br /> fund overtime, benefits, and equipment, thereby reducing General Fund expenditures. <br /> No City matching funds are required to accept this grant award. Funds will be <br /> appropriated to the Operations Grant Fund in FY 2023/24 and FY 2024/25 as stated <br /> above. <br />
