Dublin authorizes FY27 HEAT grant application to fund traffic-safety officers
Summary
The council approved Resolution 2604 to authorize application for the FY27 governor's Office of Highway Safety HEAT grant, which staff said would cover two traffic-safety officer positions and related internet/data services and build on prior years of participation in the grant program.
The Dublin City Council voted to authorize staff to apply for the FY27 HEAT grant from the governor’s Office of Highway Safety, approving Resolution 2604 to accept and administer the grant if awarded.
Staff said the city previously participated in the HEAT grant in earlier rounds and used award funds to obtain vehicles and equipment. For FY27, the police department expects the grant to cover the cost of two positions and their internet/data services used for traffic-safety duties. Council members asked whether vehicles were already in service; staff confirmed vehicles from the initial grant period were received.
Council approved moving forward with the application and acceptance of the grant's terms so the police chief and staff can submit the application when the window opens.
