Home My WebLink About14 - Acceptance of the State of California Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant PT23055Q �EwPpRT CITY OF s NEWPORT BEACH `q44:09 City Council Staff Report September 27, 2022 Agenda Item No. 14 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: Jon Lewis, Chief of Police - 949-644-3701, jlewis@nbpd.org PREPARED BY: Eric Little, Lieutenant, elittle@nbpd.org PHONE: 949-644-3740 TITLE: Acceptance of the State of California Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant PT23055 ABSTRACT: The Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) seeks acceptance of a grant totaling $350,000 from the State of California, Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to fund a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Enforcement and Awareness Program, Traffic Safety Enforcement Operations, and DUI Sobriety Checkpoints. 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 $350,000 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 $350,000 and create a new appropriation to expend the funds; and c) Approve Budget Amendment No. 23-015 increasing NBPD revenue estimates and expenditure appropriations by $350,000. 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 of Newport Beach (City) experiences an increase in daily visitors that routinely exceeds 100,000. While tourism generates positive tax revenue for the City, it also stresses the infrastructure, the NBPD, and other City departments. 14-1 Acceptance of the State of California Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant PT23055 September 27, 2022 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 PT23055 will become effective October 1, 2022 and expire September 30, 2023. 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. 14-2 Acceptance of the State of California Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant PT23055 September 27, 2022 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 $350,000 in additional revenue from the OTS STEP Grant and $350,000 in increased expenditure appropriations. The revenue will be posted to the OTS STEP FY 2022-23 Account #11035-431360-G2301 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-G2301 Overtime, Safety $314,300 11035-727016-G2301 Medicare Fringes $4,557 11035-861001-G2301 Travel & Meetings $2,040 11035-911024-G2301 Equipment $20,000 11035-841015-G2301 Other Direct Costs $9,103 Total FY 2022-23 STEP Grant $350,000 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. Both the City and Police Department, now more than ever, recognize the importance and need for ongoing DUI education and enforcement. The most recent data (2019) supplied by the California Office of Traffic Safety, reveal the City of Newport Beach to be ranked 76 out of 102 similar -sized California cities in crash -related categories per capita. In substance, the City of Newport Beach could noticeably improve their ranking by taking a robust approach with grant funding directed at reducing fatal/injury 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 population - 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 our OTS grant funding to provide Traffic and Safety Education, combat impaired driving to include; DUI alcohol, DUI drugs, and a combination of both alcohol and drugs, take pro -active enforcement actions focusing on: primary crash factors, distracted driving, motorcycle safety and related violations, bicyclist and pedestrian -related traffic violations, and work collaboratively with our law enforcement partners in an effort to have a greater impact on both DUI and Traffic related operations. The City of Newport Beach has placed a great emphasis on the need for increased DUI Saturation Patrols due to the City's nightlife allure, numerous alcohol licensed establishments, and DUI arrests (2019 OTS ranking of 104/105). As indicated in our 2019 ranking, our DUI Saturation Patrols resulted in numerous stops, roadside SFSTs, and arrests. This remained consistent throughout 2020 and 2021 as we continued to be vigilant and dedicated in our efforts to reduce deaths and injuries resulting from impaired driving. During the Calendar year 2021, we had 179 traffic crashes where DUI (Driving Under the Influence) was the primary crash factor. There were 5 alcohol involved crashes that ended with fatalities and another 70 (alcohol involved) crashes where injuries were incurred. Included in those numbers was 1 motorcycle fatality and another 28 alcohol involved motorcycle injury crashes. The crashes were dispersed all throughout our city. The City of Newport Beach has been, and will continue to be, dedicated to the reduction of DUI -related incidents, community education, and enforcement. Both the City and Police Department, now more than ever, recognize the importance and need for ongoing DUI education and enforcement. The Newport Beach Police Department regularly receives numerous complaints regarding loud vehicles with modified exhaust and racing vehicles traveling throughout the city. These racing vehicles along with those who choose to speed pose an immediate safety risk to both the residents and visitors of our community. 8/25/2022 1:47:18 PM Page 3 of 20 14-7 Unsafe speed is the #1, primary crash factor in the City of Newport Beach. During the Calendar year 2021, we had 233 traffic crashes where unsafe speed was the documented primary crash factor. The City of Newport Beach takes racing and speeding very seriously. We consistently work to address this problem, utilizing both education and enforcement. Additionally, we work collaboratively with our allied agencies conducting directed enforcement operations focused on primary crash factors with speed as a top priority. Bicycle safety in the City of Newport Beach is of the utmost importance. Being a beach community that has a daily population of approx. 86,000 that can easily increase to over 100,000 at any given moment, (based on the weather and time of year) we have a constant flow of bicycle and pedestrian traffic. This is a great area of concern for us when adding this into our already busy vehicular traffic. During the Calendar year 2021, we had 126 traffic crashes where a bicycle was involved. There was one fatality and a total of 105 victims who incurred an injury as a result of these crashes. The crashes occurred all throughout our city. We have also seen a dramatic increase in the number of e-bikes on the roads, trails, and sidewalks within our community. Unfortunately, we have also seen a noticeable increase in traffic law violations that have caused some safety concerns. Several of the aforementioned crashes involve e-bikes. Whether it be a vehicle versus bicycle crash, solo bicyclist crash, or a bicyclist versus pedestrian crash, they are rapidly on the rise. Both the Newport Beach Police Department and the City of Newport Beach regularly receive complaints regarding e-bikes. The complaints include such things as minors not wearing helmets, unsafe operations, California Vehicle Code (CVC) violations, and near crashes between a -bike riders and pedestrians. We have begun strategic operations to encourage the safe and responsible operation of both a -bikes and traditional style bicycles. We accomplish this by using OTS (Office of Traffic Safety) funds to facilitate both the enforcement and education component. The Newport Beach Police Department strongly believes that this traffic safety model will enhance the safety of both the residents and visitors to our community. We will continue to concentrate our efforts focusing on Pedestrian and bicycle safety in an effort to try and keep our roadways safe for all users. Newport Beach Motor Officers provide Power Point presentations on bicycle and pedestrian safety to students at various elementary schools located throughout our city. The officers provide a 2-fold pamphlet for the students so they can follow along with the presentation and then take it home to their parents to prompt further discussion. Topics they cover are: bike safety, helmet laws, E-bike laws, pedestrian safety, rules of the road, and equipment safety. At the conclusion of their presentations students are given a verbal pop quiz and there is an open discussion to answer any questions the students may have and to discuss scenarios where bike laws may or may not apply. The City of Newport Beach will also focus its efforts directly on bicycle safety intended to reduce the number of bicyclists injured or killed in traffic crashes by doing the following: • We will issue and properly fit helmets to help reduce the number of bicyclists riding in our community without properly fitted equipment. • Future events are currently being planned, however, the possibilities include: bicycle safety workshops which are generally held at elementary schools (described above), middle schools, high schools, Community Centers, and Community Events. • In cooperation with our School's Staff and Resource Officers, they will work to identify students and children in need of Drooerly fitted eauioment (helmets) and provide them with the aear. 12.

Buy America requires a State, or subrecipient, to purchase with Federal funds only steel, iron and manufactured products produced in the United States, unless the Secretary of Transportation determines that such domestically produced items would be inconsistent with the public interest, that such materials are not reasonably available and of a satisfactory quality, or that inclusion of domestic materials will increase the cost of the overall project contract by more than 25 percent. In order to use Federal funds to purchase foreign produced items, the State must submit a waiver request that provides an adequate basis and justification for approval by the Secretary of Transportation. PROHIBITION ON USING GRANT FUNDS TO CHECK FOR HELMET USAGE (applies to all subrecipients as well as States) The State and each subrecipient will not use 23 U.S.C. Chapter 4 grant funds for programs to check helmet usage or to create checkpoints that specifically target motorcyclists.
