INTRODUCTION
The Lino Lakes Public Safety Department is requesting Council approval to renew grant
funding from the Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety for 2016.
BACKGROUND
On January 26, 2015 Council approved Resolution 15-11 accepting a Traffic Safety Grant from
the Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety. This grant is renewable for up to four years.
The Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety is requiring an updated Resolution for each annual
renewal.
The primary goal of this grant program is to enhance safety on community roads and freeways
through community outreach and traffic safety education focused on prevention (forums at
local businesses, schools, and social media), analysis of traffic and crash data for targeted
intervention strategies, and enforcement of traffic offenses.
The Grant will reimburse the City for expenses related to salary and benefits for one officer
($105,300), court related overtime (up to $25,000) and attendance at the TZD Annual
Conference (up to $1,500).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 15-124 renewing the traffic safety grant from the
Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety for 2016.
