Ivins public safety reports speed studies, deployments and large EMS grant request
Summary
Public safety leaders reported recent traffic speed studies (including one with 4,502 vehicles and a 4% enforceable speeding rate), described multiple deployments this year and said the department is pursuing federal EMS funding (a five-year request 'a little over $1,000,000').
At the Sept. 3 Ivins City Council meeting, public-safety staff reviewed recent traffic speed studies, special-event planning and grant efforts.
The public-safety presenter summarized two recent traffic studies. On one street the presenter said there were "4,502 vehicles, and it shows an enforceability rating as low...4% of the vehicles that were driving on that road, were speeding." On the other study the presenter reported an average speed of 33.1 mph on a posted 30 mph road and that approximately 11% of violations were enforceable. The presenter invited residents to request additional studies by phone or email.
Fire and EMS leaders told council they had been busier than normal, detailed 13 major deployments this year and said the department is pursuing grant opportunities: the SAFER grant and a separate five-year EMS grant request for "a little over $1,000,000," which staff said would support equipment and personnel if awarded. Council members asked about staffing and timing; staff said award notifications are expected in the fall.
