TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joyce A. 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,

ALTERNATIVES

participate in this enhanced enforcement .
RECOMMENDATION

use of these funds for their intended purpose .
