This funding is for law enforcement agencies and other organizations to assist in the development of programs to reduce or eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries. If approved for the equipment funding at the end of the grant period, the McCall Police Department wishes to purchase one Zero FXP Motorcycle and/or Watchguard in-car video systems. The dollar amount earned through the grant will determine the actual equipment purchased. In-car video systems aid in the prosecution of defendants and help reduce liability to the City of McCall. The Zero FXP Motorcycle will aid in officer response especially during the summer season. The actual FY 17 Traffic Safety Agreement will not be available for signature until December 1, 2016 due to a delay in the upgrade of the state’s grant reporting system, Webcars. The Highway Safety Grant Application for FY 16 is attached as an example. The equipment quotes are attached.  RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve Submission of the Idaho Transportation Department – Office of Highway Safety Grant FFY17 application for the purchase one Zero FXP Motorcycle and/or Watchguard Video Systems and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents which will be available for signature by December 1, 2016.
