			Agenda Item 5.
City Council Regular Session
Meeting Date: 05/21/2024   Title:    TxDOT Operation Slowdown Grant 2024 Submitted By: Jeffrey Bryan Strategic Focus Area: Safe Community
Issue/Summary
Council is requested to consider accepting a Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) Operation Slowdown Grant for 2024.
Background
The purpose of this grant is to increase effective enforcement and adjudication of traffic safety-related laws to reduce fatal and serious injury crashes, as well as public information and education efforts during the enforcement period. Enforcement of these efforts will be focused throughout the City of Garland during the period of July 16 to August 7, 2024. The grant for the time period is in the amount of $6,312.12. If accepted, TxDOT will reimburse the City of Garland $4,971.23. The grant requires the City to provide $1,340.89 in matching funds. This will be accomplished in part through fringe benefits expenditures and direct costs. Consequently, the City can satisfy the contractual match requirements without expending any additional funds.
Consideration / Recommendation
Staff recommends Council approve a resolution for the 2024 Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) Operation Slowdown Grant and authorize the Chief of Police to execute such documents necessary to complete the transaction.
