ATTEST: Kathy Coffey, Mayor City Clerk 3 INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE WASHINGTON TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION AND The Yakima Police Department/City of Yakima THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, hereinafter referred to as "WTSC,"and The Yakima Police Department/City of Yakima, hereinafter referred to as "SUB-RECIPIENT." NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms, conditions, covenants, and performance contained herein, or attached and incorporated and made a part hereof, the Parties mutually agree as follows: 1. PURPOSE OF THE AGREEMENT The purpose of this Agreement is to provide funding, provided by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and allowed under the Assistance Listings Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) numbers 20.600 and 20.616, for the SUB-RECIPIENT to participate in traffic safety grant project 2020-HVE-3773-Washington Traffic Safety Commission, specifically to provide funding for the SUB-RECIPIENT to conduct overtime high-visibility enforcement(HVE) traffic safety emphasis patrols and related activities as outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW), in support of Target Zero priorities. Grant 2020-HVE-3773-Washington Traffic Safety Commission was awarded to the Region 13 traffic safety task force to support collaborative efforts to conduct overtime HVE activities. By signing this agreement, the SUB-RECIPIENT is able to seek reimbursement for approved overtime expenses incurred as a participant in the region's FIVE grant. The Target Zero Manager (TZM) and/or the Law Enforcement Liaison (LEL) shall coordinate the SOW with the SUB-RECIPIENT with the goal of reducing traffic-related deaths and serious injuries. 2. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE The period of performance of this Agreement shall commence upon the date of execution by both Parties, but not earlier than October 1, 2019, and remain in effect until September 30, 2020, unless terminated sooner, as provided herein. 3. STATEMENT OF WORK Note: This statement of work applies only to HVE emphasis areas for which your region has received HVE funding. 4 GOAL: To reduce traffic related deaths and serious injuries through education of impaired driving, occupant protection, speeding and distracted driving multijurisdictional HVE patrols throughout the state. SCOPE OF WORK: High Visibility Enforcement (HVE) is a proven strategy to reduce vehicular fatalities in serious injuries. There are 8 main components in the best practice model. The WTSC recommends following this model in order to most effectively use this funding. I. The event is planned by a local team 2. The event is data driven. Interest in the event originates by local recognition of a problem and the community's interest in responding to it. 3. The enforcement is multijurisdictional and uses a saturation approach and participating officers make a large number of contacts during the event and issue infractions or citations to change public behavior around risky driving behaviors such as speeding, distracted driving and failing to use a seatbelt. The WTSC proposes that the default law enforcement response to a high risk driving behavior during an HVE event should be a citation/infraction. 4. The public is aware of the event before, during, and after the enforcement takes place. It's important to note that these messages must reach all target audiences, regardless of English proficiency in the community who use the transportation system. 5. Local media are engaged by the HVE planning team 6. Enforcement is highly visible —clearly more than a typical day. 7. The HVE event is evaluated 8. The HVE event is supported by deployment of resources in the priority areas throughout the year when HVE is not being implemented. The SUB-RECIPIENT, along with the regional traffic safety task force, TZM, and LEL, are responsible for meeting these elements of HVE. The WTSC will conduct public education campaigns during national campaigns, but it is the responsibility of the SUB-RECIPIENT and task force to ensure that all elements of HVE are being met. The statewide high visibility enforcement patrols are paired with media participation to engage, deter, and educate drivers about the impacts of making unsafe decisions when driving. Outreach efforts are supported by the WTSC during statewide HVE campaigns. Regional TZMs also support public outreach efforts during locally planned HVE events. Below are descriptions of the Scope of Work for each funding category. The WTSC accepts requests for modifications to the Scope of Work through the regional Target Zero Manager. This grant provides funding for overtime HVE enforcement in a variety of emphasis areas: impaired driving, distracted driving, seat belt use, and motorcycle safety patrols. Dispatch: WTSC will reimburse communications officers/dispatch personnel for work on this project providing Agency has received prior approval from the designated TZM. This activity must be overtime and only the expenses listed in section 3.2 and its subsections will be reimbursed. 5 Enforcement Standard: WTSC proposes that during enforcement, the default response of officers observing driving behaviors that contribute to serious injury and fatal collisions is the issuance of a citation or infraction. WTSC recognizes the need and value of officer discretion. While WTSC does not suggest mandatory enforcement on every contact, the goal of any enforcement activity is behavior modification. HVE Enforcement Plan Requirement: A HVE Mobilization Plan is required prior to all HVE activity. The local traffic safety task force and TZM are responsible for submitting this form to the WTSC HVE Program Manager prior to enforcement activities begin. This form serves as prior approval for HVE events and includes the following information: • Problem Statement • Description of enforcement strategy, including expected law enforcement agencies participating in the event, target violation, and target locations • Public outreach strategy, to include how the multiple cultural groups in a community will be reached with these messages. • Evaluation plan Media Contacts: All of these patrols are conducted as part of a highly publicized, educational effort. Publicity campaigns about these patrols are planned to alert the public to the fact that extra patrols are targeting these violations. The WTSC requests that the SUB-RECIPIENT posts traffic safety information to their web-based platforms during statewide and locally coordinated HVE mobilizations. At least one individual from the SUB- RECIPIENT must be available for weekend media contacts, beginning at noon on Fridays before mobilizations. Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) Training Requirement: The SUB-RECIPIENT certifies that all officers participating in these patrols are SFST trained. WTSC's expectation is that each participating officer will make one DUI arrest per shift. If this standard is not met, participating agencies must submit an explanation to the TZM explaining why this standard was not met. Officers must also meet the following requirements: • Officer must be BAC certified and have passed the SFST refresher training within the prior three years, or • Officer must have successfully completed Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), or • Officer must be a certified Drug Recognition Expert. • For impaired driving HVE mobilizations, there is one additional requirement: o Officers must have made a DUI/DWI arrest within the past twelve months. 6 The Following sections in the SOW are for specific enforcement emphasis areas: Impaired Driving Enforcement: Impaired driving (also referred to as Driving Under the Influence, or DUI) remains a top priority for the WTSC. Year after year, roughly 50% of WA's vehicular fatalities are due to impaired driving. HVE has been shown to reduce impaired driving fatalities when the model is followed. Overtime Impaired driving enforcement patrols must be planned and coordinated by the regional traffic safety taskforce, including the TZM and LEL. The DUI patrols shall be deployed at locations where the data indicates that the most traffic safety benefit can be realized as determined by the local Traffic Safety Task Force. Except when prior approval is provided, impaired driving HVE must begin after 8:00 p.m and will occur Thursday-Sunday. The WTSC requires that impaired driving HVE patrols are done using multijurisdictional collaboration. The priority for this funding is participation in the national campaigns: • Holiday DUI Patrols—December 11 —January 2 • Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over—August 19— September 7 The DUI patrols shall be deployed at locations where the data indicates that the most traffic safety benefit can be realized as determined by the local Traffic Safety Task Force. Except when prior approval is provided, impaired driving HVE must begin after 8:00 p.m. and will occur Thursday-Sunday. Funding in this category can be expended outside of the campaign periods. However, the funds must only be used for impaired driving enforcement and during another national impaired driving enforcement campaign or other large local event. Participation during Holiday DUI Patrols and Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over should be prioritized when scheduling enforcement dates. The WTSC encourages law enforcement agencies to use this funding to support the professional growth of officers with limited exposure to impaired driving enforcement. With the approval of the region's TZM and WTSC, officers can participate in mentoring for impaired driving enforcement. Requirements for this use of funds include the following: • WTSC approval for impaired driving mentorship is done through the HVE Mobilization Plan. Approval for mentorship must be received prior to the activity date. • The training officer must be a Drug Recognition Expert or ARIDE trained. TZMs can submit a request for an officer who doesn't meet these requirements to be a mentor. This request must be detailed on the HVE Mobilization Plan. • There must be a review of the SFST procedure prior to the enforcement activity. • There is a limit of two times per year that an officer can be a mentee. • Funds permitting, mentees will participate in at least I impaired driving mobilization after completing mentoring. • Each region or county-level task force can set additional requirements for participation in this use of funding, • To be eligible for this activity, the task force must have a policy for DUI Mentoring. 7 • Funding will pay for overtime for the mentor officer and the mentee officer. • Mentees should demonstrate their ability to make one DUI arrest per shift following their mentoring. This funding can be used to conduct premise checks in bars and other establishments that sell alcohol. To be used for this purpose, the activity must meet the following requirements: • Approval for this activity is done through the HVE Mobilization Plan. This plan must be received prior to the activity date. It should include details such as the estimated number of hours and officers who will be participating in this activity. It should also include a plan for what officers will discuss with the premise (Ex. distributing coasters, HVE dedication materials, mobilization creative, etc.) • Each establishment is counted as one contact on the Officer Activity Log. • The WA Liquor and Cannabis Board must be notified in advance of this activity to encourage collaboration and support. These funds can be used for DUI warrant round-up events. Prior approval is needed for these activities and must include evidence of thorough planning. Distracted Driving Enforcement: With the State of Washington's distracted driving law, these patrols will be important to ensure through education and enforcement that drivers understand and are following the new law. These patrols shall be deployed at locations where the data indicates that the most traffic safety benefit can be realized as determined by the local Traffic Safety Task Force. Wherever possible these patrols shall occur in areas with the highest number of past distracted driving violations. The WTSC requires that distracted driving HVE patrols are conducted using a team approach with designated spotters. This approach has shown to best identify distracted driving violations. Minimum teams of 3 can conduct distracted driving HVE patrols — 1 spotter and at least 2 officers responding to violations. In order to be eligible to receive distracted driving HVE funds in FFY2020, the SUB-RECIPIENT must have at least 1 citation issued during the FFY2019 On the Road Off the Phone campaign. Agencies that did not participate in the FFY2019 On the Road Off the Phone campaign are eligible for funding. The priority for this funding is participation in the national campaign, On the Road Off the Phone, April 1 - 18, 2020. However, this funding can be expended outside of the national campaign, but the funds must only be used for distracted driving enforcement. Seat Belt Use Enforcement: Washington has one of the highest seatbelt use rates in the country, yet many of the state's vehicular fatalities and serious injuries involved unbelted drivers and passengers. Funding for seatbelt enforcement will be prioritized using data from WTSC's Research and Data Division, such as seatbelt use rates and fatal and serious injury data. At this point, funding distribution has yet to be determined, 8 Motorcycle Safety Patrols The SUB-RECIPIENT will engage in multijurisdictional HVE patrols, as part of the national effort, for all or part of the following campaign: • It's A Fine Line —July 10 —26 These motorcycle safety patrols shall be deployed at locations where the data indicates that the most traffic safety benefit can be realized as determined by the local Traffic Safety Task Force. Patrols must take place Friday, Saturday, or Sunday during the It's A Fine Line campaign. Patrols should focus on the illegal and unsafe driving actions of motorcycles that are known to cause serious and fatal crashes. This includes impaired driving, speeding. and following too closely. Patrols should also focus on the illegal and unsafe driving actions of all other motor vehicles when relating to motorcycles. This includes speeding, failure to yield to a motorcycle, following too closely to a motorcycle, distracted driving, etc. Whenever possible, SUB-RECIPIENT should include motorcycle officers in these patrols. 3.1.

AUTHORITY TO SIGN The undersigned acknowledges that they are authorized to execute this Agreement and bind their respective agencies or entities to the obligation set forth herein. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement. The Yakima Police Department/City of Yakima WASHINGTON TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION Signature Signature Printed Name Printed Name Title Title Date Date 21 MSC ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Grant Requirements Acknowledgement Form for High Visibility Enforcement (HVE) Mobilizations WEMS Grant ID: 2020-HVE-3773-Washington Traffic Safety Commission This document is intended to guide law enforcement agencies, Target Zero Managers (TZM), and Law Enforcement Liaisons (LEL), in conducting overtime mobilizations funded by federal highway safety grant funds to address impaired driving, distracted driving, seat belt use, and motorcycle safely. These requirements are mandatory in accordance with signed HVE Interagency Agreements (IAA), and all exceptions to these requirements must be pre-approved by the Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) prior to the emphasis patrol(s). This document highlights the key responsibilities of the SUB-RECIPIENT Project Manager, the WTSC, Target Zero Managers (TZM), and Law Enforcement Liaisons (LEL). This document does not replace the comprehensive information detailed in the IAA. The information in the IAA takes precedence over this document. Before beginning work on this grant project, the SUB-RECIPIENT Project Manager should thoroughly read and understand the teens of the IAA. This Grant Requirements Acknowledgement Form provides an explanation of some key terms and highlights, but is not comprehensive. If the SUB-RECIPIENT Project Manager has questions after reviewing this document, please contact the WTSC Program Manager assigned to this grant. When you, the grant Project Manager, acknowledge this document, you certify that you understand the grant requirements and agree to fully comply with the terms and conditions set forth in the IAA, as well as additional federal requirements outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations for Federal Grants and Agreements, as referenced below. If anything in this document conflicts with the IAA, the IAA takes precedence. PURPOSE AND METHODS OF HVE: The objective of HVE campaigns is to change driver behavior by increasing the perceived risk of arrest. To do this, law enforcement agencies deploy saturation patrols—the concentration of a large number of officers in a small geographic area. These patrols should be publicized extensively and conducted regularly, as part of an ongoing saturation patrol program. This is achieved with: • Increased law enforcement activities targeting specific driving violations. Law enforcement presence must appear to be greater than typical to create a real or perceived omnipresence. The enforcement plan is coordinated by the LEL and TZM, • Public education and media activities coordinated by WTSC, TZM, and/or LEL 22 Funding from the WTSC supports overtime law enforcement activities to increase the number of officers enforcing impaired driving, distracted driving, motorcycle and occupant protection laws. The overtime law enforcement activities support the media effort by demonstrating to the public that the media messages are true, i.e. that saturation patrols (with a particular focus) are going on now, so that the public takes the media messages seriously. The media activities support the enforcement effort by encouraging voluntary compliance with the laws. These funds, designated for salaries and benefits, are intended to pay for the hourly overtime costs and proportional amounts of fringe benefits of commissioned staff pursuing the activities described in the statement of work. These funds may not be used for any other purpose for example any work required to maintain a law enforcement commission including recertification trainings like firearm qualification. DEFINITIONS: High Visibility Enforcement(HVE): I IVE is a proven strategy to reduce vehicular fatalities in serious injuries. There are 8 main components in the best practice model: 1. The event is planned by a local team 2, The event is data driven. Interest in the event originates by local recognition of a problem and the community's interest in responding to it. 3. The enforcement is multijurisdictional and uses a saturation approach 4. The public is aware of the event before, during, and after the enforcement takes place. It is important to note that these messages must reach all people in the community who use the transportation system. 5. Local media are engaged by the HVE planning team 6. Enforcement is highly visible—clearly more than a typical day. 7. The HVE event is evaluated. 8. The HVE event is supported by deployment of resources in the priority areas throughout the year when HVE is not being implemented. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS: Before beginning to work on this grant, you must have: • A fully executed IAA or contract, signed by both parties. • Attested to the Grant Requirements Acknowledgment Form (this document). Work cannot begin before October 1, 2019, and before the IAA is signed by all parties. Period of Performance: October I, 2019 - September 30, 2020. All work must be completed no later than September 30, 2020. SELECT CONT ' • CT PROVISIONS: Page 2 of 8 23 Scope of Work: The IAA includes detailed guidance for the allowable activities for this grant. By certifying this Grant Requirements Acknowledgment Form, the contact for the SUB- RECIPIENT for this grant certifies that they have reviewed this section of the IAA. To request changes, the SUB-RECIPIENT will need to send this request to the WTSC HVE Program Manager, and an IAA amendment may be required. Period of Performance: October 1, 2019 September 30, 2020. All work must be completed, and goods and services must be received, no later than September 30, 2020. Compensation: • All expenses must be incurred between October 1, 2019 and September 30, 2020. • Expenses cannot exceed the total amount of the agreement, and must fall within the amounts of each budget category as listed in the IAA. • Funds cannot be moved between planned budget categories. • Upon agreement between the TZM and all other parties impacted by a proposed budget alteration, the allocation amounts may be increased or decreased without amending the IAA. These alterations must be requested through email communication between all involved parties, including the TZM and the WTSC Fiscal Analyst, Budget alterations should not be approved by the TZM if the proposed funding amounts cause a region's maximum funding amount to be exceeded in any HVE category unless the WTSC HVE Program Manager pre-approves this budget adjustment. • WTSC will reimburse for personnel overtime expenses at up to 150 percent of the officer s normal salary rate plus SUB-RECIPIENT's contributions to employee benefits, limited to the following: FICA, Medicare, any portion of L & I that is paid by the employer, and retirement contributions paid by the employer (only if the contribution is based on a percentage of hours worked). • The SUB-RECIPIENT will provide law enforcement officers with appropriate equipment (e.g., vehicles, radars, breath testers, etc.) to participate in the emphasis patrols. • Funding can be expended at the discretion of the region's traffic safety task force, so long as the funds are used for their originally intended purpose. Participation in statewide enforcement campaigns should be prioritized when possible. HVE Mobilization Plans Task forces are required to submit a plan for each HVE mobilization. This plan includes, but is not limited to, the following items: • Statement of need • Law enforcement agencies participating • Enforcement strategy. including target violation and location(s) • Communications strategy • Evaluation plan Impaired Driving Training Requirements: Page 3 of 8 24 The WTSC recognizes that most of the vehicular fatalities involving impaired include impairment by drugs. Because of this, the WTSC prefers officers who work these HVE mobilizations to be DRE or ARIDE trained. However, the minimum requirement for these HVE mobilizations are the following: • Completed SFST training within the past three years • Must have current BAC certification • Must have made a DUI/DWI arrest within the past twelve months, unless the officer participated in DUI mentoring. An exception to this requirement can be made to the HVE Program Manager. DUI Enforcement Mentoring Statewide DUI and Flex Funding (during DUI mobilizations) can be used to support the professional growth of officers with limited exposure to impaired driving enforcement. With the approval of the region's TZM and WTSC, officers can participate in mentoring for impaired driving enforcement. Requirements for this use of funds include the following: • WTSC approval for impaired driving mentorship is done through the HVE Mobilization Plan. Approval for mentorship must be received prior to the activity date. • The training officer must be a Drug Recognition Expert trained officer. TZMs can submit a request for an officer who doesn't meet these requirements to be a mentor. This request must be detailed on the HVE Mobilization Plan. • There must be a review of the SFST procedure prior to the enforcement activity. • There is a limit of two times per year that an officer can be a mentee. • Funds permitting, mentees will participate in at least one impaired driving mobilization after completing mentoring. • Each region or county-level task force can set additional requirements for participation in this use of funding. • To be eligible for this activity, the task force must have a policy for DUI Mentoring. • Funding will pay for overtime for the mentor officer and the mentee officer. Advance Payments Prohibited: WTSC cannot pay any funds in advance to the HVE mobilization before completing the work. Agreement Alterations and Amendments: • Any changes to the terms of an agreement must be mutually agreed upon by both parties and are often incorporated by written amendment to the agreement/contract. Such amendments shall only be binding if they are in writing and signed by personnel authorized to bind each of the parties. • Exceptions to this include alterations to the budget and the Primary Contact for the agency listed in VVEMS. The regional TZM has the authority to make these alterations if all affected parties agree to the changes. Billing procedure: Page 4 of 8 25 The WTSC is currently developing functionality in WEMS to streamline enforcement activity and invoice submission. The WTSC requires that this functionality be used for billing when available. Instructions and requirements for using this functionality will be provided at a later date. Prior to activity and invoice submission by the SUB-RECIPIENT in WEMS, the SUB- RECIPIENT shall submit monthly invoices for reimbursement to the TZM with supporting documentation, as WTSC shall require. The TZM will submit all approved invoices to the WTSC via WEMS within 10 days of receipt. All invoices for reimbursement must include the following. Note this will likely change when the new invoicing process is implemented. • Form A-19 provided by WTSC or its pre-approved equivalent. The hourly rate of each officer included on the invoice must be identified. • Emphasis Patrol Log for each officer • WTSC's Overtime Log or the SUB-RECIPIENT's overtime approval sheets signed by the officer's supervisor Payment to the SUB-RECIPIENT for approved and completed work will be made by warrant or account transfer by WTSC within 30 days of receipt of such properly documented invoices acceptable to WTSC. Upon expiration of the Agreement, any claim for payment not already made shall be submitted within 45 days after the expiration date of this Agreement. All invoices for goods received or services performed on or prior to June 30, 2020, must be received by WTSC no later than August 10, 2020. All invoices for goods received or services performed between July 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020, must be received by WTSC no later than November 15,2020. Buy America Act: For any manufactured goods over $5,000, the SUB-RECIPIENT must provide written certification that the goods, including IT software and hardware, were produced in the USA.

Must comply with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart E. Income: Any and all program income earned by the SUB-RECIPIENT during the grant period from activities conducted as part of the grant(e.g., sale of publications, registration fees, service charges, etc.) must be fully accounted for and applied to project purposes or used to reduce project costs. Lobbying/ Political Activity: Because this grant uses federal funds, no work being funded by this grant can be used to lobby or otherwise influence state or federal officials, or support or oppose legislation; there is an allowance for "customary state practice." Records Maintenance: Maintain records pertaining to this agreement for 6 years after grant expiration. Page 5 of 8 26 STANDARDIZED FIELD SOBRIETY TEST (SFST) TRAINING REQUIREMENTS: The agency certifies that all officers participating in these patrols are SFST trained and meet the following requirement: • Officer must be BAC certified and have passed the SFST refresher training within the prior three years, or • Officer must have successfully completed Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), or • Officer must be a certified Drug Recognition Expert. • For impaired driving HVE mobilizations, there is one additional requirement: Officers must have made a DUI/DWI arrest within the past twelve months. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS: • All officers participating in HVE patrols are required to attend mobilization briefings if conducted. • Participating law enforcement officers are required to make a minimum of three self- initiated contacts per hour of enforcement. The WTSC recognizes that some contacts may result in time-consuming enforcement-related activities and that sometimes this performance goal is not possible to attain. Failure to meet the performance goal does not automatically mean reduction in reimbursement for the activity. Officers who do not meet the performance goal should document the reason, will be reviewed by the TZM and LEL. • Other activities, such as collision investigations or emergency response that are not initiated through emphasis patrol contact WILL NOT be reimbursed. Only traffic safety enforcement and correlated activity is allowable for reimbursement. • All personnel who work HVE patrols must submit officer Emphasis Patrol Activity Logs to the regional TZM within 48 hours of the end of all shifts worked. The regional TZM will review, approve, and submit the reimbursement to WTSC for payment. SHIFT LENGTH: The law enforcement agency involved will not schedule individual officer overtime shifts for longer than eight hours. WTSC understands there may be instances when more than eight hours are billed due to DUI processing or other reasons. RESERVE OFFICERS: The law enforcement agency involved will ensure that any reserve officer for whom reimbursement is claimed has exceeded his/her normal weekly working hours when participating in an emphasis patrol and is authorized to be paid at the amount requested. Reserve officers may only be paid at the normal hourly rate and not at the 1 50 percent overtime rate. DISPATCH: Page 6 of 8 27 WTSC will reimburse communications officers/dispatch personnel for work on these patrols only if the law enforcement agency has received prior approval from the designated TZM. OTHER REQUIREMENTS: Project Monitoring: • Site Visits: These are conducted to review performance, compliance, and quality assurance.
