8. Project Description:
A. Problem Statement:
Nationally in 2009 33,808 people were killed on the roadways of the United States. Thirty two percent(32%)(10,839)of
these died in crashes involving alcohol. In Illinois in 2009 there were 911 people killed, in crashes, with 319 being alcohol
related and with 35 being under the age of 21. In Kane Co in 2009 30 people were killed in crashes with 16(50%) being
alcohol related crashes. Kane Co ranks 3 in the State for Alcohol related crash fatalities.
In the City of Elgin,twenty-one(21)of the sixty one(61)fatalities in the last ten years were alcohol related or 34%.
In 2008 there were 5 Fatailties and 3 were Alcohol Related, In 2009 only 1 Fatality occurred and it was Alcohol related.
In 2010 there were 4 Fatalities(3 Pedestrians(PED) and none were Alcohol Related. In 2011 there were 4 Fatalities(2
PED)and none was Alcohol related. In November a new Records Management System was impleminated which will
enable the tracking of injury crashes on a monthly and annual basis With the continued enforcement of alcohol, speed,
and seatbelt restraint laws, along with increased efforts to educate students and citizens, the City of Elgin has made
substantial gains in occupaint protection and impaired driving enforcement. With financial aid from the Illinois Department
of Transportation, the City of Elgin can continue the trend of reducing alcohol related and non alcohol related traffic
fatalities, and addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues to make the City's roadways safer.
B. Background:
1. General Characteristics
The City of Elgin is the eighth largest city in Illinois located partly in Cook County, the largest county in the State, and
partly in Kane County, the fifth largest county in the State. Elgin is located in the Fox Valley, 35 miles west of Chicago.
Elgin is 38.8 miles in size with a population of 108,188. The city has 5 State Routes(Rt.31, Rt.25, Rt.20, Rt. 19 and
Rt.47), along with an interstate highway(1-90).The city also has a bike trail running north to south through the entire
length of the city. The City of Elgin also is home to Illinois largest casino, the Grand Victoria Riverboat casino which, is a
source of additional traffic entering and exiting the city as most of its patrons travel from outside Elgin. The 2008
admission was over 2.1 million. A Large-scale annual events which also adds to increased vehicle traffic are the Fox
Valley Fox Trot, and the Independence Day Parade, along with numerous other Parades and festivals that are put on in
Elgin's Festival Park.
2. History of Problem Solving
The City of Elgin is a member of the Kane County Task Force on Drinking and Driving established in1982. The Task
Force adopted a mission statement taking a total systems approach to the problem to develop any and all possible
solutions that will lead to a reduction of death and injury caused by an intoxicated driver. The City of Elgin fully believes
and truly backs this mission statement. The City of Elgin believes this mission can be accomplished through education,
enforcement, and prevention.
The City of Elgin was part of a grant given to Kane County, as a Safe Community in 2000. In this grant, the city
participated in saturation patrols with a high rate of success. The City accounted for 396 hours of worked performed on
the grant. The Elgin Police Department issued 995 citations, including 169 Driving Under the Influence citations and 110
Driving Under the Influence arrests. That is 45% of the total Driving Under the Influence arrests made for the grant and
40%of the citations issued. Speeding citations were 17%and seat belt/child restraint totaled 14%of the citations issued.
The City of Elgin was given a grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation in 2002 through 2012, and has
participated in the grant requirements to the fullest. In Grant year 2010/11, the Elgin Police Department exceeded its
requirements in D.U.I. arrests for the grant, by arresting 179 offenders,which was 45%over the required number based
on the 1179 patrol hours and DUI processing work. However the Elgin Police Department feels continuing the fight
against Driving Under the Influence would suffer greatly if funds would not be renewed through another grant. The Elgin
Police Department received and is currently active in a LAP Grant for the year 2012/13.
The city has previously participated in Child Passenger Safety Month(February), Alcohol Awareness Month (April),
Buckle Up America Week(May), 3-D Month (December)Click It or Ticket, and Operation Safe Passage. The Traffic Unit
also holds a Seat Belt class twice a month for violators of restraint laws, and participates with U-46 School District Drivers
Education classes twice a year and with the Districts Prom related activities.

THE CITY IN THE SUBURBS-
AGENDA
UBURBSAGENDA ITEM: F
MEETING DATE: November 28, 2012
ITEM:
Acceptance of the Illinois Department of Transportation "Local Alcohol Program" Grant for
Drunk Driving Enforcement
($41,594 grant)
OBJECTIVE:
Partner with the Illinois Department of Transportation to continue making the roadways safer
by providing a high level of drunk driving enforcement.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation and to accept the grant
award providing funds for drunk driving enforcement in the amount of$41,594.
BACKGROUND
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a nationwide epidemic that is responsible for
numerous accidents, injuries and deaths each year. In 2011, impaired drivers were responsible
for 10,228 deaths nationally; 436 of those deaths occurred in Illinois. In Elgin, 23 of the 58 (40
percent) traffic fatalities since the year 2002 were alcohol related. It is staggering statistics such
as these that moves the police department to embrace the continuous goal of creating a safer
community for all by focusing on traffic enforcement. To assist with reaching this goal, staff ac-
tively seeks grant partnership opportunities for traffic safety initiatives.
Each year, the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administra-
tion, provides funding to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to promote traffic
safety on highways. IDOT, in turn, extends the funding opportunities to law enforcement agen-
cies in Illinois. One program that is funded through this initiative is the Local Alcohol Program
(LAP), a grant program that is designed to produce a significant impact on a local community's
impaired driving problem (Attachment A). For many years, Elgin has utilized this grant initiative,
as well as others, in an effort to reduce incidents relating to driving under the influence of drugs
or alcohol. The success of the department's continued fostering of grant partnerships is sup-
ported by the low number of impairment-related traffic fatalities over the past ten years, as il-
lustrated below:

4 5 1 1 4 1 3 1 0 0
For the tenth consecutive year, the department has applied for and received LAP grant funding.
The amount awarded for the state of Illinois' 2013 fiscal year is $41,593.70.
OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
The LAP grant will provide funding for a variety of prevention and enforcement activities, in-
cluding 390 hours of DUI Patrols and four Roadside Safety Checks. The officers are paid on an
overtime basis and all of the expenses are reimbursable through this grant opportunity, includ-
ing mileage incurred for the squad cars used during the detail.
The department's traffic division also will coordinate activities that include the following:
1) Education. Efforts will target high school students, primarily through in-class
presentations and demonstrations.
2) "Operation Prom Night." A mock demonstration of a impairment-related acci-
dent will be presented to high school students before prom and other end-of-
year activities in an effort to make the potential ramifications of drinking and
driving more impactful to students.
3) Media campaigns. Efforts will target high traffic areas in an effort to increase the
awareness and prevention of drunk driving.
4) Special patrol shifts. Weekend and holiday patrols will be specifically tasked with
locating and arresting drunk drivers.
5) Roadside Safety Checks. Periodic roadside safety checks will be conducted in an
effort to ensure that drivers on Elgin roadways are not driving while impaired.
6) Various equipment purchases. In the past, this funding has provided for prelimi-
nary breath test instruments, radar units, lidar units and this year, funds will be
used to replace non-serviceable breathalyzers.
INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
The department has been engaged with IDOT, specifically their grant administrator, Ron
Borcowski, to ensure that goals set forth in grant applications are attained, past grant compli-
ance has occurred and results achieved are noted by IDOT. The Kane County DUI Task Force and
Illinois State Police have also been contacted in an effort to seek opportunities for partnering so
that funding awarded will be maximized.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
elubk
The city has been awarded a 100 percent reimbursement grant in the amount of $41,593.70.
The award will be used for various impaired driving enforcement efforts. The city is not re-
quired to contribute matching funds. Reimbursement is requested after each enforcement ef-
fort is completed. IDOT funding commenced on October 1, 2012 and continues through Sep-
tember 30, 2013.

8. Project Description:
- ------------- ----
A. Problem Statement: ------
Nationally in 2009 33,808 people were killed on the roadways of the United States. Thirty two percent(32%)(10,839)of
these died in crashes involving alcohol. In Illinois in 2009 there were 911 people killed, in crashes,with 319 being alcohol
related and with 35 being under the age of 21. In Kane Co in 2009 30 people were killed in crashes with 16(50%)being
alcohol related crashes. Kane Co ranks 3 in the State for Alcohol related crash fatalities.
In the City of Elgin,twenty-one(21)of the sixty one(61)fatalities in the last ten years were alcohol related or 34%.
In 2008 there were 5 Fatailties and 3 were Alcohol Related, In 2009 only 1 Fatality occurred and it was Alcohol related.
In 2010 there were 4 Fatalities(3 Pedestrians(PED) and none were Alcohol Related. In 2011 there were 4 Fatalities(2
PED)and none was Alcohol related. In November a new Records Management System was impleminated which will
enable the tracking of injury crashes on a monthly and annual basis With the continued enforcement of alcohol, speed,
and seatbelt restraint laws,along with increased efforts to educate students and citizens, the City of Elgin has made
substantial gains in occupaint protection and impaired driving enforcement. With financial aid from the Illinois Department
of Transportation, the City of Elgin can continue the trend of reducing alcohol related and non alcohol related traffic
fatalities, and addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues to make the City's roadways safer.
B. Background:
1. General Characteristics
The City of Elgin is the eighth largest city in Illinois located partly in Cook County, the largest county in the State, and
partly in Kane County,the fifth largest county in the State. Elgin is located in the Fox Valley, 35 miles west of Chicago.
Elgin is 38.8 miles in size with a population of 108,188. The city has 5 State Routes(Rt.31, Rt.25, Rt.20, Rt. 19 and
Rt.47), along with an interstate highway(1-90). The city also has a bike trail running north to south through the entire
length of the city.The City of Elgin also is home to Illinois largest casino, the Grand Victoria Riverboat casino which, is a
source of additional traffic entering and exiting the city as most of its patrons travel from outside Elgin. The 2008
admission was over 2.1 million. A Large-scale annual events which also adds to increased vehicle traffic are the Fox
Valley Fox Trot, and the Independence Day Parade, along with numerous other Parades and festivals that are put on in
Elgin's Festival Park.

2. History of Problem Solving
The City of Elgin is a member of the Kane County Task Force on Drinking and Driving established in1982. The Task
Force adopted a mission statement taking a total systems approach to the problem to develop any and all possible
solutions that will lead to a reduction of death and injury caused by an intoxicated driver.The City of Elgin fully believes
and truly backs this mission statement. The City of Elgin believes this mission can be accomplished through education,
enforcement, and prevention.
The City of Elgin was part of a grant given to Kane County, as a Safe Community in 2000. In this grant,the city
participated in saturation patrols with a high rate of success. The City accounted for 396 hours of worked performed on
the grant. The Elgin Police Department issued 995 citations, including 169 Driving Under the Influence citations and 110
Driving Under the Influence arrests. That is 45% of the total Driving Under the Influence arrests made for the grant and
40%of the citations issued. Speeding citations were 17%and seat belt/child restraint totaled 14% of the citations issued.
The City of Elgin was given a grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation in 2002 through 2012, and has
participated in the grant requirements to the fullest. In Grant year 2010/11, the Elgin Police Department exceeded its
requirements in D.U.I. arrests for the grant, by arresting 179 offenders, which was 45%over the required number based
on the 1179 patrol hours and DUI processing work. However the Elgin Police Department feels continuing the fight
against Driving Under the Influence would suffer greatly if funds would not be renewed through another grant. The Elgin
Police Department received and is currently active in a LAP Grant for the year 2012/13.
The city has previously participated in Child Passenger Safety Month (February),Alcohol Awareness Month (April),
Buckle Up America Week(May), 3-D Month (December)Click It or Ticket, and Operation Safe Passage. The Traffic Unit
also holds a Seat Belt class twice a month for violators of restraint laws, and participates with U-46 School District Drivers
Education classes twice a year and with the Districts Prom related activities.
