RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No.2011-235 accepting and appropriating San Diego Gas
and Electric (SDG&E) SAFE San Diego Initiative grant program funds for Community
Emergency Response Team program.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On June 7, 2011, Council adopted Resolution No. 2011-118 authorizing Carlsbad Fire
Department to apply for the FY 2011 San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) SAFE San Diego
Initiative grant program. On July 13, 2010, SDG&E confirmed an award of $2,500 for Carlsbad
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) (Exhibit 2), the full amount requested.
The grant funds will be used to enhance Carlsbad's CERT program by funding the purchase of
additional Federal code-compliant all-weather safety jackets. Recent changes in highway
safety code requirements make purchasing Federal code-compliant safety jackets a high
personal protective equipment priority.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The SDG&E grant award of $2,500 represents one-time funds. There is no matching fund
requirement. There are no on-going costs associated with these purchases. Funds will be
appropriated to the Fire Department Emergency Preparedness Program.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378,
this does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of CEQA and, therefore, does not
require environmental review.
EXHIBITS:
1. Resolution No.
