Irvine, Calif. (Oct. 18, 2017) – The Irvine Police Department has been awarded a $510,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for a year-long program of special enforcement and public awareness efforts to prevent traffic-related deaths and injuries. The Irvine Police Department will use the funding as part of the City’s ongoing commitment to keeping our roadways safe and improving the quality of life through both enforcement and education.

The City of Irvine is accepting applications to fill two volunteer member-at-large vacancies on the Irvine Sports Committee. The Committee is composed of representatives from Irvine’s youth sports organizations and provides the City Council and the Community Services Commission with input and feedback on policies, programs, facilities and the needs of the Irvine youth sports community.

While most Committee members represent a specific program and sport, members-at-large are selected through a public recruitment process to provide general perspective and guidance.
