Purpose and Recommended Action
Recommendation
This is a request for City Council waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the State of Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for acceptance and expenditure of Federal grant funds for the safe routes to school support program, in an amount of $45,811. .body
Background
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) requests that the community take responsibility for developing an effective school pedestrian safety program with schools, parents and local authorities. The city of Glendale currently has Safe Route to School (SRTS) maps on file for all of its public K-8 schools. The plans consist of a street map, per district established boundaries, showing the location of the school and the routes to be used by the students to and from the school. SRTS is designed to provide a maximum of protection for children by taking advantage of existing traffic controls.
Analysis
This IGA will provide for federal funds to procure crossing guard apparel (hats, type 2 safety vests, and stop paddles), updated bike rodeo signage, and helmets for bike rodeo participants. The amount of federal aid funds provided will not exceed $43,811 and will require a $2,000 local match.
Previous Related Council Action
On March 22, 2016, City Council authorized entering into an IGA with ADOT for federal funds to update SRTS maps as part of the SRTS program in an amount of $79,900.
