DESCRIPTION: Safeco Insurance Company has provided a grant to the City of
Dublin for the purchase and installation of the opticom traffic light control system in six (6) marked
Dublin Police patrol vehicles. Per Government Code Section 37354, it is recommended that all gifts and
contributions be formally accepted by the City Council. Therefore, it is the recommendation of Staff that
the City Council accept the gift and direct Staff to prepare formal acknowledgments to the donor in
accordance with adopted City Council Policy. Furthermore, it is recommended the City Council authorize
the mayor to execute the budget change.
The optic om traffic light control system provides emergency vehicles with the capability to change traffic
control lights at specific intersections as a means of stopping cross traffic and providing the right-of-way
to the emergency vehicle. This will reduce the possibility of collisions occurring in intersections entered
by emergency vehicles against the prevailing red traffic signal, as well as reducing the overall response
time during emergency calls.
