Subject: Appropriate funds through the FY2018 Homeland Security Grant program
for the purchase of police equipment in an amount not to exceed $46,413.
Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept the FY2018 Homeland Security
Grant Program Funds, and authorizing the Administrative Services Director to appropriate the
funds for program expenses.
Executive Summary
The City of Carlsbad Police Department has participated in the San Diego Office of Homeland
Security's (SDOHS) Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant program since 2008. The FY2018
Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant program will provide the police department with
$46,413 to purchase various equipment for police officers. The police department will be using
these funds to purchase gas masks, mask seal tester kits, and night vision helmet mounts.
Standard assurances for all Homeland Security federal grant programs require that participating
agencies obtain written authorization from the City Council, governing board, or authorized
body.
Discussion
With City Council approval, the City of Carlsbad Police Department has participated in the San
Diego Office of Homeland Security's Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant program since
2008. The City of San Diego is the entity that applies for, receives, and locally administers
federal grant funds associated with the State Homeland Security Grant Program. The grant is
distributed to the county based on the number of first responders in the county.
The County Unified Disaster Council, which the City of Carlsbad is a member of, determines the
local grant fund distribution for each city based on their population. The FY2018 Urban Area
Security Initiative (UASI) grant program will provide the police department with $46,413 to
purchase various equipment for police officers. The police department will use these funds to
purchase gas masks, mask seal tester kits, and helmet mounts for night vision goggles for use by
the SWAT team.

Fiscal Analysis
The total cost of the equipment purchase is $46,413 which is fully reimbursable by the Fiscal
Year 2018 UASI Grant Program. No matching funds are required for the UASI grant.
Next Steps
The Administrative Services Director will appropriate $46,413 to the Public Safety Grants
Special Revenues Fund, and the police department will order the equipment from a selected
vendor. The total amount will then be reimbursed by the SDOHS.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project"
within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change
in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment,
and therefore, does not require environmental review.
