City Council adopt Resolution No. 2005-258 accepting Federal grant funds
through the Urban Area Security Initiative Grant Program (UASI) for domestic disaster
preparedness for incidents of terrorism involving Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Grant Name
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Grant Purpose Amount Allocated To
The United States Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP) and the
Office of Domestic Preparedness (ODP) provide federal grant funds which are administered
to states through the State Domestic Preparedness Grant Program for the purchase of
specialized equipment and training to enhance the capability of state and local agencies to
respond to incidents of terrorism involving the use of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).
For the federal grant funds associated with the UASl Grant Program, the City of San Diego
Office of Homeland Security is the designated “Metropolitan Urban Area” for the San Diego
Operational Area, and as such, is the entity that applies for, receives and locally administers
federal UASl grant funds. The Unified Disaster Council is the governing body and
determined the local distribution formula for UASl grant funds, which is also based upon the
percentage of “first responders” in each jurisdiction within the Metropolitan Urban Area.
FY 2003 UASI Grant (Part II)
FY 2003 UASI Grant (Part 11)
Total
No matching funds are required for the Urban Area Security Initiative Grant. The Federal
grant funds allocated to the City of Carlsbad are noted in the following table:
Carlsbad
Discretionary Equipment !§ 98,115
Personal Protective Equipment $ 54,080
$1 52,195
Attached as Exhibit No. 2 is the Grant Fund Distribution List for the FY 2003 UASl Grant
(Part II) designated for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Discretionary Equipment.
The City of Carlsbad Police and Fire Departments jointly review the list of UASI grant-fund
qualified PPE and WMD-related equipment, determine the needs of each department,
determine the needs of other City Departments relative to a WMD response and allocate
the funds for purchases based upon identified department and City-wide needs. Equipment
is then purchased and paid for by the City. Paid purchase invoices for UASI-related
purchases are then sent to the City of San Diego Office of Homeland Security for full
reimbursement to the City.
In the FY 2003 UASI Grant (Part II), the PPE-allocated funds will be used to purchase
WMD-related protective equipment for both the Police and Fire Departments and the funds
allocated for discretionary purposes will be used to purchase electronics and equipment to
upgrade the City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and purchase other WMD-related
equipment.
