SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The La Porte Police Department has made its annual application for the TXDOT "S.T.E.P." grant concerning
overtime reimbursement for Speed and Intersection Control. This application will be the fourth year for which the
department has applied for the grant and, if awarded, will result in a maximum reimbursement award of$57,009.l8.
As indicated last year, due to the success of our previous and current grants, we have been advised that we may be
eligible for an additional fifth-year grant. The attached 5 Year Cost Assumption Plan indicates that a higher level of
match will be required for the fifth year, should we choose to apply for the grant and subsequently receive the
award. The five year Cost Assumption plan is required each year as part of the grant request submittal process.
Although the grant only pays base salary, the police department will continue to meet our employee benefits,
mileage, and fuel match requirement, as displayed in the previous years.
Act" uired b Council:
tion authorizing City Manager to sign grant and other documents for Speed and intersection traffic
grant.
