CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. io
April 12, 2005
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Dale Johnson, Sergeant, Traffic Division
Bob McDonell, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Budget Amendment - California Seat Belt Compliance
Campaign Program — Fiscal Year 200412005
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Budget Amendment in the amount of $19,699 for the Police
Department Budget in Fiscal Year 2004/2005, to fund additional seat belt
enforcement as a part of the California Seat Belt Compliance Program.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Newport Beach has received a grant award from the State of
California Office of Traffic Safety to increase the level of awareness of seat belt
safety in our City. This is an ongoing effort, and the Police Department has
previously participated in this Program.
The goal of the California Seat Belt Compliance Campaign is to increase seat
belt use Statewide. The time period of May 16 through June 5, 2005, is
designated by the State as the next time period that seat belt enforcement will be
a focus. During this time frame, additional staff hours will be designated for seat
belt enforcement. Traffic and Patrol Officers of the NBPD will be specifically
assigned to patrol City streets during peak traffic hours. The incurred costs will
be reimbursable by the State. A media release will be issued just prior to this
enforcement period, in order to increase awareness and obtain voluntary
compliance from motorists. Seat belt use clearly reduces, and in some cases,
prevents injury in traffic collisions.
