SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Attached is the proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Idaho Transportation Department Office of Highway Safety and the McCall Police Department. This MOU is part of
a Nationwide Program dedicated to reduce the number of traffic related injuries and deaths.
The MOU requires officers to work regular duty and overtime hours with special emphasis or focus on Impaired Driving, Aggressive Driving, Safety Restraint usage and Pedestrian and Bicycle
Safety during specified timeframes. The MOU reimburses the City of McCall for the dedicated overtime hours accrued during the specified timeframes spent on designated patrols. The
MOU also allows officers to work regular duty hours (incentive hours) with emphasis on the specified focus area. The department is issued a credit for those hours; the credit is based
on the number of hours worked. The credit is used to purchase specific preapproved equipment thru a reimbursement program.
If approved, the grant monies will be used for the purchase of four in-car video systems. The purchase price for each system is $3500.00 per unit. The new systems will replace our
current systems that have obsolete technology.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve participation in the traffic enforcement mobilizations and direct the Mayor to sign the Memorandum of Understanding.
