ACTION REQUESTED
It is time again for the Police Department to apply for the annual funding available from the Minnesota
Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety for the 2010-2011 grant year. The resolution needs
to be signed by the Mayor and the City Clerk.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City of Elk River Police Department has been the coordinating agency for the Sherburne County
area for traffic grant purposes for almost twenty years. Officer Todd Erickson is responsible as the grant
coordinator to submit and monitor the grant allocations.
I have attached a summary for the grant request. If approved, this portion of the yearly grant would
provide the City of Elk River alone with over $44,000 for specialized traffic enforcement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The grant award requested is $138,218. The State Patrol would receive $33,379.50. The County and
remaining cities would split $104,838.50. The split is based on number of officers assigned by each
department. There is no match required. These numbers could be reduced as the grant goes forward.
