RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No. 5044 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $9,200 from County Services Area P-2 Zone A fund and a donation from the Blackhawk Homeowners Association and appropriating it in the County Service Area P-2 Zone A (7653) for the purchase of radar equipment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases revenues and appropriations by $9,200.

BACKGROUND:

The citizens of Blackhawk in conjunction with the HOA have expressed their concerns regarding speeding motorists within their community. Members of the Blackhawk Police services have been strategically deployed to interdict and educate motorists on the risk of speeding throughout the community. However, there are far too many roads and intersections to be covered by one deputy. Many other agencies, like Martinez Police Department, are using radar trailers that store traffic information regarding the time of day and average speeds through areas where the trailer was or is deployed. This information can then be used to more effectively deploy resources assigned to the community of Blackhawk. Currently no available equipment such as this exists within the community and the P2A committee has asked that P2A traffic safety funds as well as a donation of from the HOA be used to purchase the traffic trailer.
