CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Kenneth W. Small, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Approve and authorize the Chief of Police to execute a one year grant
agreement with the State of California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) in
the amount of$174,209 for a Selective Traffic Enforcement Program
(STEP); approve appropriation and establish a separate business unit;
and, authorize expenditure of same amount plus any accrued interest
Statement of Issue:
In July 2011, the Police Department received notice from the California Office of Traffic
Safety (OTS) that the City of Huntington Beach was tentatively awarded a one year grant in
the amount of$174,209. The awarded funds are intended to reimburse our costs associated
with DUI enforcement and selective traffic enforcement details. These events are designed
to create public awareness, thus enhancing the overall deterrent effect. City Council action
is required to accept the grant award and appropriate the funds.
Financial Impact:
This one year reimbursable grant agreement is funded by the State of California Office of
Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The amount of
$174,209 is for the period of October 1, 2011, through September 30, 2012. The
appropriation request is fully offset by the estimated revenues.
Recommended Action: Motion to:
A) Approve and accept the one year Grant Agreement between OTS and the City of
Huntington Beach; and,
B) Authorize the Chief of Police to execute the agreement with OTS; and,
C) Approve appropriations and estimated revenue in the amount of$174,209; and,
D) Establish a separate business unit for this funding and authorize the Chief of Police to
expend up to $174,209 plus accrued interest on the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program.
Alternative Action(s): Do not approve and direct staff accordingly.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 9/19/2011 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PD 11-015
Analysis:
The City of Huntington Beach is concerned with the safe and efficient movement of vehicular,
bicycle and pedestrian traffic on our highways, streets and bike paths.
In 2009, Huntington Beach had the third highest per capita arrest rate in California out of the
56 cities with populations ranging from 100,000 to 250,000 according to the California Office
of Traffic Safety (OTS). Even with this arrest rate, Huntington Beach was still highest in
California for alcohol involved collisions in which there were victims killed or injured where a
party (driver, pedestrian, bicyclist) was classified as "Had Been Drinking."
In 2010, the Huntington Beach Police Department arrested approximately 1,400 DUI drivers,
and we intend to continue our aggressive enforcement efforts.
This DUI and STEP grant will allow the Police Department to take a multi-faceted approach
toward DUI enforcement. The grant will fund DUI checkpoints, DUI saturation patrols,
speed/red light/intersection traffic enforcement, and motorcycle safety enforcement. This
additional grant funded enforcement will allow us to continue our efforts to reduce DUI driving
and DUI related traffic collisions. In addition, this grant will include a public awareness
component to help deter DUI driving to supplement the extra enforcement.
Environmental Status:
Not Applicable.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Maintain and Enhance Public Safety

Subject: Office of Traffic Safety 2012 Tentative Application Approval for eGrants ID 20352
Dear Jonathan Haught:
Congratulations! Through a competitive process, the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) has
tentatively approved your funding request for the application titled "Selective Traffic
Enforcement Program" in the amount of approximately $174,209.00.
It is our goal to have all new grants start no later than October 1, 2011. If approval from a
City Council or the Board of Supervisors is required to accept grant funding, please begin
this process now and notify your OTS coordinator of the status when your Coordinator contacts
you. Do not incur grant reimbursable costs prior to the receipt of your official approval
packet from OTS or before your grant start date.
OTS may initiate a statewide media news release regarding 2012 applications selected for
funding. Your agency should not publically announce this tentative award until the grant
agreement is fully negotiated and signed by OTS.
Your OTS Coordinator, Tony Sordello, will contact you soon to discuss the next steps in the
grant agreement process. If you have any questions, Tony can be reached at 916-509-3019 or
tony.sordello(@ots.ca.gov. Again, congratulations on the sucess of your application.
Sincerely,
CHRISTOPHER J. MURPHY
Director
