DISCUSSION
On October 1, 2024, City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement with the State of California Office of Traffic Safety (“OTS”) for the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program in an amount not to exceed $755,000. Subsequently, the grantor made minor revisions to the grant agreement. There is no change to the total amount awarded.
OTS removed the funding for the Standardized Field Sobriety Testing/Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement/Drug Recognition Expert instruction and reallocated the funds to other activities including Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Saturation Patrols and Collaborative DUI Enforcement. OTS also made corresponding adjustments to the grant performance objectives on pages 4 through 6 of the agreement. Bicycle helmet purchase and distribution were added under “Objectives” on page 4.
