RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No. 5014 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $15,500 from County Services Area P-6 Zone funding and appropriating it in the Sheriff's Office (0255) for the purchase of Radar equipment for Discovery Bay.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action increases revenues and appropriations by $15,500.
BACKGROUND:
The citizens of Discovery Bay have long voiced their concerns regarding the issue of speeding motorists within neighborhood areas. The California Highway Patrol, like many other law enforcement agencies, faces staffing challenges as well as limited resources and is not in a position to dedicate traffic enforcement solely to Discovery Bay. The Office of the Sheriff currently does not have any radar equipment available to assist in traffic enforcement and education in Discovery Bay. The Discovery Bay P-6 fund committee has asked that P-6 funds be used to purchase a radar trailer, vehicle mounted radar and hand held LIDAR for (2) patrol vehicles.
