<br /> <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br /> <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION: Consider Approval of Agreement with City of Saint Paul for Ramsey County <br />Traffic Safety Initiative (RCTSI) <br />DEPARTMENT HEAD’S APPROVAL: Anthony S. Paetznick, Director of Public Safety <br />CITY MANAGER’S APPROVAL: <br />No comments to supplement this report ___ Comments attached ___ <br /> <br />Recommendation: Approval of Agreement with City of Saint Paul for Ramsey County Traffic Safety <br />Initiative (RCTSI). <br /> <br />Legislative History: New Brighton has participated in the Ramsey County Traffic Safety Initiative <br />(RCTSI) since its creation in 2009. <br /> <br />Financial Impact: The City of New Brighton is reimbursed for overtime expenditures incurred by <br />Public Safety’s participation in RCTSI, which is budgeted at $32,058.00. <br /> <br />Explanation: The Ramsey County Traffic Safety Initiative (RCTSI) efforts to reduce death and <br />injury on roadways by raising public awareness and enforcing traffic regulations <br />by integrating resources from state, county and local agencies with grant <br />funding awarded by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic <br />Safety. These saturation campaigns use officers from every law enforcement <br />agency in Ramsey County, including the police departments of Maplewood, <br />Mounds View, New Brighton, North Saint Paul, Roseville, Saint Paul, Saint <br />Anthony and White Bear Lake, and the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office. The <br />updated agreement reflects a structural change in RCTSI from the Ramsey <br />County Sheriff’s Office to the City of Saint Paul Police Department as the fiscal <br />agent for the 2020 Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) Enforcement. The New Brighton <br />City Attorney has reviewed the document. <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />Anthony S.
