Proposed Motion:
Move City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 5515, authorizing the City of Chandler to enter into a Grant Agreement with the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety for the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2022 award, in the area of Occupant Protection, in the amount of $29,311.
Background:
The Chandler Fire Department (CFD) has been awarded a Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Grant, in the area of Occupant Protection, in the amount of $29,311. The grant requested funds to continue the Child Safety Seat Clinics program for the period of October 1, 2021, to September 30, 2022. The program will offer 30 child safety seat (CSS) inspection clinics and distribute up to 170 booster and infant seats to families in need. Clinics will be held at Chandler Regional Medical Center and the Chandler Police Department. CFD's child passenger safety technicians (CPST) will participate in regional events sponsored by SafeKids, the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, or in conjunction with community-wide events in Chandler. All CSS inspections and installations will be provided by CFD personnel with CPST certification. CFD will pay the cost of certifying the technicians.
Additionally, the project will include a public education component where each parent or caregiver will be given hands-on instruction on properly installing CSS's. Printed materials will be given to families at each clinic and will cover the correct usage of CSS, child safety in and around vehicles, passenger safety for every family member, the "Buckle Up, Baby" hotline, and Children Are Priceless Passengers (CAPP). Materials will be available in English and Spanish, when possible.
Financial Implications:
This reimbursable grant does not require matching funds.
