DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION “SPEED ENFORCEMENT
GRANT,” OCTOBER 2015 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2016,
ESTABLISHING PROJECT NUMBER PS1511, BUDGETING AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS NOT TO EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF $38,616
SUMMARY:
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has informed the Police Department
that funds are available for a “Speed Enforcement Grant”. The term of this grant covers
the period from October 2015 through September 2016.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Previous grants of this nature have routinely been approved each year.
BACKGROUND:
This grant, if approved, will allow the Police Department to increase its efforts in speed
enforcement. We anticipate that a continued enforcement presence will be needed to have a
long lasting impact on speed problems, and CDOT funding will allow the dedication of full time
officers to traffic issues.
This grant requires that the Police Department provide enhanced speed enforcement during
certain identified high violation periods.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There is no financial impact on the City as no match is required for this grant. City of
Pueblo Staff time will be necessary to manage and report on the grant.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
There is no stakeholder process required for this grant.
ALTERNATIVES:
Decline the CDOT Grant offer.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
Attachments: CDOT Purchase Order
