Parker, City Manager SUBJECT: Grant Application - Illinois Department of Transportation PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council information to consider making a request for grant funds from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for traffic safety projects . BACKGROUND The Elgin Police Department is actively involved in the r enforcement of drunk driving laws. This problem continues to plague our city, even as the public attitude about drinking and driving has begun to change . IDOT has informed us of the availability of "Safety Grants" for the enhanced enforcement of the DUI Laws . It is proposed that the City apply for funding for seven "Roadside Safety Checks" in the amount of $16, 288 to be performed around major holiday periods throughout the coming year. The request is for 100 percent of the overtime costs for officers working this type of DUI roadblock. A second grant application is also proposed to fully fund overtime expenses for Elgin Officers to conduct enhanced patrols, targeting speeding violations, impaired drivers and seatbelt usage . This enforcement would be scheduled as manpower is available . The amount requested under this application is $9, 541 . COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None . OkFINANCIAL IMPACT — No matching funds are required for this grant . The only expense to the City would be incidental costs for uniform use and any court appearances resulting from arrests. Those costs will be absorbed by the current department budget . LEGAL IMPACT None . 44, IDOT Grant Application February 11, 1999 Page 2 ALTERNATIVES The City may chose not to apply for these grants and not participate in this enhanced enforcement . RECOMMENDATION The City should authorize the application for these funds and use of these funds for their intended purpose . Re eectfully submit d, / 1 Joe Parker City Manager JB/jb
