Discussion:

The Shakopee Police Department coordinates the MN Dept. of Public Safety's Speed and Aggressive Driving Grant in conjunction with efforts of Scott County law enforcement agencies. One of the grant requirements is for Shakopee City Council to pass a resolution accepting said grant agreement. 

 

Scott County law enforcement agencies have been awarded $6,300 to help pay for officer overtime while conducting traffic safety initiatives related to speeding and aggressive driving. 

Budget Impact:
The Speed and Aggressive Driving Grant requires a 20% match for a total of $1,260; this match will be "in-kind" and covered by participating officers doing extra speed enforcement while working their regular shifts. No direct budget impact will occur.
