RECOMMENDATION: a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; b) Authorize the City Council to accept a $270,000 Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) award granted to the NBPD by the OTS per City Council Policies F-3 and F-25. To comply with City Council Policy F-3, the City Council must formally accept the award of $270,000 and create a new appropriation to expend the funds; and c) Approve Budget Amendment No. 22-008 increasing NBPD revenue estimates and expenditure appropriations by $270,000. DISCUSSION: Newport Beach is an attractive locale for Orange County nightlife and routinely competes with other cities for the most Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control licensed establishments in the State of California (per capita). The population of Newport Beach is approximately 87,000 residents; however, during the summer months the City experiences an increase in daily visitors that routinely exceeds 100,000. While tourism generates positive tax revenue for the City of Newport Beach (City), it also stresses the infrastructure, the NBPD, and other City departments. 17-1 Acceptance of the State of California Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant PT22042 September 14, 2021 Page 2 In 2007, the first grant was requested and awarded through the OTS. Since then, the NBPD has been dedicated to community education, traffic enforcement, and the reduction of DUI -related collisions. The NBPD continues to recognize the need for ongoing DUI enforcement and education, as the Traffic Data Summary Table below shows. The most recent data (2017) supplied by the OTS indicates the NBPD's ongoing efforts have been impactful, as the City ranked in the top two of 106 similar -sized California cities in the category of DUI arrests. 2018 stats are not yet available for this category.

Grant number PT22042 will become effective October 1, 2021 and expire September 30, 2022. The grant funds will pay overtime and benefits costs for officers specifically assigned to DUI enforcement and awareness programs, including DUI Checkpoint Operations, DUI Saturation Patrol Operations, and Traffic Enforcement Operations related to distracted driving, motorcycle safety, and bicycle/pedestrian enforcement. In-state travel and training expenses are also included in the grant for officers attending the Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), and Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) training courses. The "Know Your Limits" program is also a part of the grant this year. The "Know Your Limits" program is a collaborative effort between the NBPD and Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) licensed establishments to educate patrons about the dangers of drinking and driving. Our NBPD personnel visit local alcohol -licensed establishments and provide patrons with voluntary breath tests in order to educate them on their blood alcohol concentration, thereby allowing patrons to "Know Your Limit" before they consider driving after consuming alcohol. 17-2 Acceptance of the State of California Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant PT22042 September 14, 2021 Page 3 Almost all DUI efforts involve overtime, as they are unique and short-term assignments that do not involve personnel scheduled to work a regular patrol assignment. In other words, the NBPD retains the same number of officers on regularly scheduled patrol while additional officers are added for the sole purpose of conducting OTS grant -funded DUI enforcement at no additional cost to the City. FISCAL IMPACT: The Budget Amendment records and appropriates $270,000 in additional revenue from the OTS STEP Grant and $270,000 in increased expenditure appropriations. The revenue will be posted to the OTS STEP FY 2021-22 Account #11035-431360-G2201 and the expenditure appropriations will be posted to the various expenditure accounts within the OTS Fund, according to the following breakdown: Account Category Amount 11035-713002-G2201 Overtime, Safety $254,785 11035-727016-G2201 Medicare Fringes $3,694 11035-861001-G2201 Travel & Meetings $11,521 Total FY 2021-22 STEP Grant $270,000 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Staff recommends the City Council find 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.

PROBLEM STATEMENT The City of Newport Beach is a unique and dynamic community located along the scenic coastline of Southern California. The city and surrounding areas are deeply rooted in history. In the early 20th century, Newport Beach was home to celebrities such as John Wayne, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, and Shirley Temple. At approximately 51 square miles, including areas of water, Newport Beach consists of rugged coastline, inland waterways, and has a diverse mix of commerce, tourism, and distinct residential communities. Newport Beach is a hot spot for Orange County nightlife and routinely competes against other cities for the most Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control licensed establishments in the State of California (per capita). The population of Newport Beach is approximately 86,000 residents; however, during the summer months the city experiences an increase in daily visitors that routinely exceeds 100,000 per day. While the tourism generates a positive tax revenue for the city, it also stresses the infrastructure and city departments, including the police department. In 2007, our first grant was requested and awarded through the Office of Traffic Safety. Since then, the department has been dedicated to the reduction of DUI -related incidents, community education, and enforcement. The City and Police Department continue to recognize the need for ongoing DUI education and enforcement. The most recent data (2018) supplied by the California Office of Traffic Safety, reveal the City of Newport Beach to be ranked 68 out of 102 similar -sized California cities in crash -related categories per capita. In silbstance, the City of Newport Beach could noticeably improve their ranking by taking a robust approach with grant funding directed at reducing fatallinjury crashes related to motorcyclists, bicyclists. unsafe speed, and impaired drivers. Newport Beach markets itself as a destination location and attracts visitors from all over the region, state, and world. The daily increase in pDpulation — including people who do not live in Newport Beach, but come to work, shop, visit, or dine — is a component of our current rankings. To provide ongoing education and enforcement to our residents. businesses, and visitors, and to pursue increased roadway safety for all users, we will continue to utilize OTS grant funding to ccmbat DUI alcohol, DUI drugs, distracted driving, primary crash factors, motorcycle -related driving violations, and bicvclist/motorist/pedestrian-related violations. 2.
