^RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No.2009-180 authorizing the Carlsbad Fire and
Police Departments to apply for the State Homeland Security Grant Program for emergency
preparedness.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The State Homeland Security Grant Program provides funds to build capabilities at the state
and local levels and to implement the goals and objectives included in state homeland security
strategies. State goals and objectives include:
• Strengthen information sharing, collaboration capabilities & law enforcement
investigations
• Strengthen communications capabilities
• Enhance catastrophic incident planning and response & recovery capabilities, among
others
The County of San Diego is the entity that applies for, receives, and locally administers federal
grant funds associated with the State Homeland Security Grant (SHSG) Program. The
County's Unified Disaster Council, of which the City of Carlsbad is a member, is the governing
body that determines the local grant fund distribution formula, which is based on "first
responders" in each jurisdiction.
No matching funds are required for the State Homeland Security Grants. The federal grant
funds allocated to the City of Carlsbad are $185,400.
The City of Carlsbad Police and Fire Departments jointly review allowable grant expenditures,
determine the needs of each department and allocate the funds based on identified department
needs. Equipment is then purchased and paid for by the city. Paid purchase invoices for
SHSG-related purchases are then sent to the San Diego County Office of Emergency Services
for full reimbursement to the city. Planning, training and exercise expenses are similarly
expended and reimbursed. Planned expenditures include:
