Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 5/18/2004 - Ordinance No. 15983
DATE: Tuesday, May 18, 2004
LOG NAME: 35CIOT 2004 REFERENCE NO.: **C-20082
SUBJECT:
Contract with the Texas Department of Transportation for Click It or Ticket Selective Traffic
Enforcement Program
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT),
to operate the Click It or Ticket (CIOT), Selective Traffic Enforcement Program from May 1, 2004, to
September 30, 2004; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund by $30,750; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to waive indirect costs in the amount of$5,735.
DISCUSSION:
Texas leads the nation in traffic fatalities. According to the National Safety Council, people who wear safety
belts have a 45% better chance of surviving a serious traffic crash and a 50% better chance of surviving
without injuries.
Since passage of the safety belt and child safety seat laws, the most effective method in improving safety
belt usage rates in Texas has been through increased enforcement at the state and local level. This project
is designed to increase safety belt usage during the 2004 Memorial Day holiday. Enforcement will be
supported by public information and education efforts.
This grant will pay for officer overtime and associated retirement benefits during the Memorial Day
enforcement blitzes and media campaign. There is no requirement for matching funds.
