Summary

Council adopted Resolution R25-668 to join a South Plains Association of Governments (SPAG) comprehensive safety action plan, a step staff said will make the city eligible to apply for U.S. DOT Safe Streets and Roads for All implementation grants; staff cited a regional planning award of $960,000 for expedited planning.

The Plainview City Council on July 22 adopted Resolution R25-668 to adopt the South Plains Association of Governments’ (SPAG) comprehensive safety action plan, a regional planning document staff said will allow cities and counties in SPAG’s 15-county region to apply for Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) implementation grant funding.

Captain Gabe Carrillo briefed the council, saying the plan followed an expedited planning process supported by award funds and analysis to identify locations with serious crashes. Carrillo said the planning award totaled $960,000 from the U.S. Department of Transportation to support the expedited planning process (GIS mapping, stakeholder outreach and crash analysis). Carrillo said adopting the plan will make the city eligible to apply for SS4A implementation grants that would fund safety improvement projects identified in the regional plan.

Council members expressed concern about crash levels and traffic speed; one member said: "I didn't realize we had that many accidents. I guess we all need to slow down." The council then moved to adopt the resolution. Mayor Pro Tem Weiss moved adoption; Council Member Rodriguez seconded the motion and the council adopted R25-668.

The meeting record shows the council vote as "we have a vote of 7 4." The resolution was adopted.

Staff noted that adoption does not itself commit construction funds but enables the city to apply for SS4A implementation grant funding tied to the plan’s recommended projects.
