2 <br /> LELs are required to attend quarterly meetings held throughout the State with GHSP staff, the <br /> annual Lifesaver National Conference on Highway Safety Priorities in the spring, and assist with <br /> planning, set up, operations, and tear down of the annual North Carolina Highway Safety <br /> Symposium. To facilitate travel, training, and the other activities of the LELs, GHSP awards a <br /> grant to the employing agency of each LEL. The grant funds travel, training, and traffic safety <br /> equipment for the agency. The yearly grant for each LEL employing agency totals $20,000. <br /> Deputy T. Brian Whitehurst of the Orange County Sheriffs Office is the Law Enforcement <br /> Liaison for Region 5. Deputy Whitehurst joined the Office in the second quarter of the GHSP <br /> grant year, resulting in a proportional decrease of the grant to $15,000. The grant will allow the <br /> Sheriff's Office to 1) purchase five radar units and have them installed in patrol vehicles and 2) <br /> fund the LEL's travel to the required meetings, conference, and symposium. <br /> The provisions associated with the grant require the local governing body, in this case the Board <br /> of Commissioners, to adopt a resolution recognizing the federal funding for traffic safety <br /> projects. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Orange County Sheriff's Office will receive $15,000 in grant funding. <br /> Full funding comes from federal sources and requires no local cash appropriation or matching <br /> funds. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Social Justice Goal is applicable to this agenda <br /> item: <br /> • GOAL: CREATE A SAFE COMMUNITY <br /> The reduction of risks from vehicle/traffic accidents, childhood and senior injuries, gang <br /> activity, substance abuse and domestic violence. <br /> Receipt of GHSP grant funding will allow the Orange County Sheriffs Office to advance the <br /> North Carolina Governor's Highway Safety Program's purpose to promote highway safety <br /> awareness and to reduce the number of traffic crashes and fatalities in the State, objectives <br /> which overlap with this Social Justice Goal. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: <br /> • adopt the North Carolina Governor's Highway Safety Program Local Governmental <br /> Resolution recognizing federal funding for traffic safety projects to the Sheriff's Office; <br /> and <br /> • authorize the Chair to sign the Resolution. <br />
