RECOMMENDED ACTION:
To adopt Resolution No. 2006-240 accepting Federal grant funds through the Urban Area
Security Initiative Grant Program for domestic disaster preparedness for incidents of terrorism
involving Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).
ITEM EXPLANATION:
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 to enhance the capability of state and local agencies to respond to incidents of
terrorism involving the use of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). The City of San Diego
Office of Homeland Security is the designated "Metropolitan Urban Area" for the San Diego
Operation Area, and as such, is the entity that applies for, receives and locally administers
federal Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant funds. The Urban Area Working Group is the
governing body and determined the local distribution formula for UASI grant funds, which is also
based upon the percentage of "first responders" in each jurisdiction within the Metropolitan
Urban Area. The City has received prior UASI grant funds.
No matching funds are required for the UASI Grant. The federal grant funds allocated to the
City of Carlsbad for equipment purchases in the 05 UASI Grant are $81,165.16. The Grant
funds will be utilized to complete the purchase and placement in service of Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) required for first responders to WMD terrorism incidents. These grant funds
are designated for equipment purchases only and will complete the PPE requirements for Fire,
Police and Public Works first responder personnel. The PPE will be purchased and paid for by
the City. Paid purchase invoices are then sent to the City of San Diego Office of Homeland
Security for full reimbursement to the City.
FISCAL IMPACT:
All UASI Grant-related purchases are 100% reimbursable. The Police and Fire Departments
request that the City Council appropriate $81,165.16 from the General Fund. Upon completion
of the UASI grant-related equipment purchases, the General Fund will be reimbursed by grant
reimbursements. All expenditures and reimbursements will be completed before the close of
FY 2006/07.
EXHIBITS:
1. Resolution No. 2006-240, accepting the 05 UASI Grant allocation and appropriating
$81,165.16 from the General Fund to the Police and Fire Departments.
