DISCUSSION
The Texas Department of Transportation has agreed to provide funds for a new program entitled
Speed Speeding continues to be a major contributor to traffic crashes and resulting injuries and
fatalities, not only on the state's highways, but on all types of roadways within all cities and
towns as well Law enforcement entities now have the opportunity to focus their enforcement
efforts on those streets and roadways that have a high number of speed-related crashes and/or
experience high rates of noncompliance with the posted speed limits This program will entail
officers, on an overtime basis, working identified roadways having substantial degrees of
noncompliance with posted speed limits within the city limits All equipment for this program
will be provided from existing resources, and the State will reimburse the City for overtime pay,
travel and mileage expenses
The funding period for this program will begin on October 1, 1994 (or when all signatures are
obtained on the contracts)' and end September 30, 1995
The total contract cost of the Speed is 5144, 963 00 which will be provided by the Texas
Department. of Transportation However, the terms of the State contract do not allow for
reimbursement of the 9 22% retirement fringe benefit for the overtime personnel base salaries
