ISSUE
Council is requested to consider accepting a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)–Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) – Impaired Driving Mobilization (IDM) Grant.
OPTIONS
Accept TxDOT STEP Impaired Driving Mobilization (IDM) Grant Funding.
Do not accept TxDOT STEP Impaired Driving Mobilization (IDM) Grant Funding.
RECOMMENDATION
This item will be scheduled for formal consideration at the December 13, 2022 Regular Meeting.
BACKGROUND
The Garland Police Department has partnered with The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for many years by participating in STEP IDM enforcement grants. The purpose of this grant is to save lives and reduce motor vehicle accidents and related injuries by aggressively enforcing the laws of the State of Texas associated with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) and Driving Under the Influence by Minor (DUI). Enforcement efforts will be focused throughout the City of Garland. The enforcement activities will also be supplemented by additional public information and education campaigns conducted during the enforcement periods.
CONSIDERATION
The grant for FY 2023 is in the amount of $14,998.68. If accepted, TxDOT will reimburse the City of Garland $11,990.46. The grant requires the City to provide $3,008.22 in matching funds. This will be accomplished in part through fringe benefits expenditures and administrative time spent on grant-related paperwork. Consequently, the City can satisfy the contractual match requirements without expending any additional funds.
