REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Travis Hopkins, Acting City Manager
VIA: Eric Parra, Chief of Police
PREPARED BY: Sgt. Michael Thomas and Ingrid Ono
Subject:
Approve and accept the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) grant to provide overtime to combat
impaired driving; and, authorize the Chief of Police to execute agreement and approve
appropriation and expenditure of funds
Statement of Issue:
In October 2024, the Huntington Beach Police Department (HBPD) received notice from the
California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) that the City of Huntington Beach was awarded a new one-
year traffic safety grant aimed at combating impaired and unsafe driving practices. The OTS
Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grant (Grant Number PT25100) provides funding in
the amount of$820,000 to reimburse costs associated with Sobriety/Driver License checkpoints, two
full-time DUI officer positions, multi-faceted traffic enforcement details, radar guns for motor officers,
and the development of artificial intelligence technology to detect impaired drivers. These events are
designed to reduce traffic collisions, injuries, and fatalities through enforcement, education, and
media attention.
Financial Impact:
This one-year reimbursable grant is funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety in the amount of
$820,000, which is to be expended between October 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025. The
appropriation request is fully offset by the grant revenues.
Recommended Action:
A) Approve and accept the STEP grant agreement between the California Office of Traffic Safety and
the City of Huntington Beach for$820,000; and,
B) Authorize the Chief of Police to execute the grant agreement with the California Office of Traffic
Safety; and,

C) Approve appropriation and estimate revenue source in the amount of$820,000.
Alternative Action(sl:
Do not approve the recommended action, and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The City of Huntington Beach has always been concerned with the safe and efficient movement of
vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic on our highways, streets and bike paths. Funding the
proposed project aims to reduce the incidence of unsafe driving practices and DUI-related accidents
and arrests in the community by focusing on two key areas: education and enforcement. This grant
will allow for to use progressive and innovative enforcement techniques to increase unsafe driving
and DUI enforcement efforts and provide for more coverage with two full time officers dedicated to
DUI enforcement.
The proposed funding would be used to increase traffic enforcement actions and identify behaviors
that contribute to the root causes of collisions. Further, the HBPD would like to provide additional
methods of education to residents and inform them that careless and negligent behaviors will result in
drastic consequences to themselves, their passengers, or other affected citizens in and around our
City's roadways.
This grant will reimburse the City of Huntington Beach for expenditures associated with
Sobriety/Driver License Checkpoints, two full time DUI officers, and a variety of traffic related details.
OTS will administer and handle the grant funds for the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program.
•
Patrols will be conducted at high-risk times and in high-risk areas where DUI offenses are more likely
to occur. By increasing the presence of law enforcement in these areas, the project aims to deter DUI
offenders and reduce the incidence of DUI-related accidents and arrests.
Overall, the proposed project will employ a dual strategy targeting both DUI enforcement and
education for law enforcement personnel. By equipping officers with specialized training in DUI
detection and intervention techniques, the initiative aims to bolster the effectiveness of DUI saturation
patrols and enhance overall police readiness. This focused approach is expected to directly
contribute to a reduction in DUI-related incidents, thereby increasing safety and accountability within
the community.
Environmental Status:
This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections
15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change
in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the
CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for
resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

Schedule A
1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Huntington Beach, a bustling city with a population exceeding 200,000, is distinguished by its,expansive
beachfront, thriving entertainment sector, and significant annual influx of approximately 16 million beach
visitors. This vibrant environment, however, presents unique challenges, especially during high-profile
events like the Surf City Marathon, AVP Volleyball competition, and U.S. Open of Surfing, which alone
attracts about 500,000 attendees.
The city has experienced surges in beach attendance and hotel occupancies, intensifying issues such as
traffic congestion, alcohol-related incidents, and impaired driving. Concurrently, a rise in homelessness has
necessitated a shift in police resources away from traffic enforcement, now operating with significantly fewer
personnel compared to a decade ago.
Recent data indicates a concerning uptick in traffic-related fatalities and injury crashes since 2021, with
impaired driving being a primary crash factor. Drinking and driving remains a significant challenge for the
Huntington Beach Police Department. In the calendar year 2023, there were 609 DUI arrests, 255 DUI-
related traffic crashes, and 6 fatal DUI crashes underscoring the persistent nature of this issue. This data
underscores the ongoing battle against DUI offenses in Huntington Beach and highlights the necessity for
continued.and enhanced Office of Traffic Safety(OTS) support.
Between 2021 and 2023, the Huntington_Police Department reported a significant number of fatal and injury-
related crashes. In 2021,. there were 13 fatal crashes, resulting in 14 fatalities, along with 762 injury crashes
involving 1,083 victims. In 2022, the number of fatal crashes increased to 17, with 18 fatalities, and 780injury
crashes affecting 1,108 victims. By 2023, the department reported 16 fatal crashes, leading to 16 fatalities.
In 2023, the top contributing factors for crashes were driving under the influence, unsafe speed, and
improper driving. Driving under the influence accounted for 5 fatal crashes, resulting in 5 fatalities., and 94
crashes that caused 164 victims being hurt. Unsafe speed was responsible for 144 crashes, causing 187
injuries, while improper driving contributed to 44 crashes, resulting in 47 injuries. These statistics highlight
the persistent dangers posed by high-risk driving behaviors. The frequency of these crashes and the
severity of the injuries and fatalities underscore the need for targeted enforcement and public safety
initiatives to mitigate the loss of life and prevent further injuries in Huntington.We will enhance educational
outreach and bolster our enforcement capabilities. Success will be measured through quantifiable reductions
in traffic-related fatalities, DUI incidents, and improved public safety metrics.
The primary beneficiaries of the grant are local residents, tourists, drivers, and pedestrians who navigate the
city's busy streets. The grant aims to mitigate risks for these groups by addressing the core issues of
impaired_and distracted driving.
Our department's proactive approach includes the"Know Your Limit"campaign and robust DUI
enforcement, supported by data analytics that track DUI arrests and their origins. Additionally, we leverage
our substantial social media presence (75,000 Facebook followers and 37,000 on Instagram) to disseminate
traffic safety information. However, to effectively combat the multifaceted traffic safety issues, we propose
expanding our efforts beyond enforcement to include comprehensive educational programs, increased
visibility, and public relations activities.
Recognizing the resource limitations of neighboring cities, we will extend our collaborative efforts, fostering
partnerships for shared traffic enforcement initiatives. This regional approach aims to create safer streets
across multiple jurisdictions.
In conclusion, Huntington Beach's unique characteristics necessitate tailored solutions to address its traffic
and public safety challenges.Huntington Beach Police Department will strengthen our initiatives in DUI
enforcement, public education, and regional collaboration, thereby ensuring safer streets for residents and
visitors alike.

State of California—Office of Traffic Safety GRANT NUMBER
GRANT AGREEMENT PT25100
Schedule A
1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Huntington Beach, a bustling city with a population exceeding 200,000, is distinguished by its expansive
beachfront, thriving entertainment sector, and significant annual influx of approximately 16 million beach
visitors. This vibrant environment, however, presents unique challenges, especially during high-profile
events like the Surf City Marathon, AVP Volleyball competition, and U.S. Open of Surfing, which alone
attracts about 500,000 attendees.
The city has experienced surges in beach attendance and hotel occupancies, intensifying issues such as
traffic congestion, alcohol-related incidents, and impaired driving. Concurrently, a rise in homelessness has
necessitated a shift in police resources away from traffic enforcement, now operating with significantly fewer
personnel compared to a decade ago.
Recent data indicates a concerning uptick in traffic-related fatalities and injury crashes since 2021, with
impaired driving being a primary crash factor. Drinking and driving remains a significant challenge for the
Huntington Beach Police Department. In the calendar year 2023, there were 609 DUI arrests, 255 DUI-
related traffic crashes, and 6 fatal DUI crashes underscoring the persistent nature of this issue. This data
underscores the ongoing battle against DUI offenses in Huntington Beach and highlights the necessity for
continued and enhanced Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) support.
Between 2021 and 2023, the Huntington Police Department reported a significant number of fatal and injury-
related crashes. In 2021, there were 13 fatal crashes, resulting in 14 fatalities, along with 762 injury crashes
involving 1,083 victims. In 2022, the number of fatal crashes increased to 17, with 18 fatalities, and 780injury
crashes affecting 1,108 victims. By 2023, the department reported 16 fatal crashes, leading to 16 fatalities.
In 2023, the top contributing factors for crashes were driving under the influence, unsafe speed, and
improper driving. Driving under the influence accounted for 5 fatal crashes, resulting in 5 fatalities., and 94
crashes that caused 164 victims being hurt. Unsafe speed was responsible for 144 crashes, causing 187
injuries, while improper driving contributed to 44 crashes, resulting in 47 injuries. These statistics highlight
the persistent dangers posed by high-risk driving behaviors. The frequency of these crashes and the
severity of the injuries and fatalities underscore the need for targeted enforcement and public safety
initiatives to mitigate the loss of life and prevent further injuries in Huntington. We will enhance educational
outreach and bolster our enforcement capabilities. Success will be measured through quantifiable reductions
in traffic-related fatalities, DUI incidents, and improved public safety metrics.
The primary beneficiaries of the grant are local residents, tourists, drivers, and pedestrians who navigate the
city's busy streets. The grant aims to mitigate risks for these groups by addressing the core issues of
impaired and distracted driving.
Our department's proactive approach includes the "Know Your Limit" campaign and robust DUI
enforcement, supported by data analytics that track DUI arrests and their origins. Additionally, we leverage
our substantial social media presence (75,000 Facebook followers and 37,000 on Instagram) to disseminate
traffic safety information. However, to effectively combat the multifaceted traffic safety issues, we propose
expanding our efforts beyond enforcement to include comprehensive educational programs, increased
visibility, and public relations activities.
Recognizing the resource limitations of neighboring cities, we will extend our collaborative efforts, fostering
partnerships for shared traffic enforcement initiatives. This regional approach aims to create safer streets
across multiple jurisdictions.
In conclusion, Huntington Beach's unique characteristics necessitate tailored solutions to address its traffic
and public safety challenges. Huntington Beach Police Department will strengthen our initiatives in DUI
enforcement, public education, and regional collaboration, thereby ensuring safer streets for residents and
visitors alike.

• Pre-approval is not required when using any OTS-supplied template for media advisories, press
releases, social media graphics, videos or posts, or any other OTS-supplied educational material.
However, copy the OTS PIO at pio(a,ots.ca.gov and your OTS grant coordinator when any
material is distributed to the media and public, such as a press release, educational material, or

happening (e.g. car seat checks, bicycle rodeos, community presentations, DUI checkpoints,
etc.).
• Enforcement activities such as warrant and probation sweeps, court stings, etc. that are
embargoed or could impact operations by publicizing in advance are exempt from the PIO
approval process. However, announcements and results of activities should still be copied to the
OTS PIO at pio(a ots.ca.gov and your OTS grant coordinator with embargoed date and time or
with "INTERNAL ONLY: DO NOT RELEASE" message in subject line of email.
• Any earned or paid media campaigns for TV, radio, digital or social media that are part of a
specific grant objective, using OTS grant funds, or designed and developed using contractual
services by a subgrantee, requires prior approval. Please send to the OTS PIO at
