Subject: Fiscal Year 2020 Urban Area Security Initiative Grant Program
District: All
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with the City of San
Diego Office of Homeland Security to accept $28,988 in Fiscal Year 2020 Urban Area Security
Initiative grant funds.
Executive Summary/Discussion
The United States Department of Homeland Security distributes grant funds to assist state,
local, tribal and territorial efforts in preventing, protecting against, preparing for, mitigating,
responding to and recovering from acts of terrorism and other threats. The Urban Area Security
Initiative is part of the Homeland Security Grant Program. This initiative provides funding to
enhance regional preparedness and capabilities in designated high-threat, high-density areas.
San Diego County is designated as a high-risk urban area. The City of San Diego’s Office of
Homeland Security applies for, receives, and locally administers the initiative’s grant funds for
all the public safety agencies in the county. The City of Carlsbad was invited to participate in the
Fiscal Year 2020 UASI grant program.
The Office of Homeland Security approved the Police Department for $2,911 to attend the
following training courses:
•California Association of Tactical Officers conference
•Police sniper response to a public venue
•National gang conference
The Fire Department was approved for $26,077 to attend the following training courses:
•Confined space rescues
•Rescue Systems I
•Trench rescues
•Rope rescue technician
•Structural collapse technician
July 27, 2021 Item #5 Page 1 of 49
Options
Staff recommend adopting a resolution accepting the FY 2020 grant funds so that Police and
Fire department employees can attend the specified training courses. The city will receive
reimbursement for training expenses. Without the grant funds, police and fire personnel will
not be able attend the specified training courses and the city will lose an opportunity for
professional development and growth of public safety programs.
Staff identified no drawbacks in accepting the grant funds.
Fiscal Analysis
There is no matching fund requirement for the Urban Area Security Initiative grant program.
The Police and Fire departments have been allocated sufficient funds in their budgets in fiscal
year 2021-22 to cover the associated expenditures. These expenditures will not have a net
impact to the General Fund because they are expected to be offset once reimbursements are
received.
Next Steps
With City Council approval, the City Manager will sign the attached memorandum of
understanding and standard assurances. Police and fire personnel will then attend the specified
training courses and will submit reimbursement requests to the City of San Diego’s Office of
Homeland Security.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
This action does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental
Quality Act under Public Resources Code section 21065 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.

expenses, over and above planning and implementation costs, must be sustained once the Grant Funding

to sustain continuing programs beyond the Grant Funding period. SUBRECIPIENT acknowledges and
agrees that this sustainability requirement is a material term of the Agreement.
3.13 EHP Requirements.
(a) Grant Funded projects must comply with the federal Environmental and Historic
Preservation ("EHP") program. SUBRECIPIENT shall not initiate any project with the potential to impact
environmental or historic properties or resources until Cal OES and FEMA have completed EHP reviews
and approved the project. Examples of projects that may impact EHP resources include: communications
towers, physical security enhancements, new construction, and modifications to buildings, structures and
objects that are 50 years old or greater. SUBRECIPIENT shall notify the UASI Management Team of

conditions placed on the project as the result of the EHP review, and implement any treatment or
mitigation measures deemed necessary to address potential adverse impacts. With prior approval of the
UASI Management Team, SUBRECIPIENT may use Grant Funds toward the costs of preparing
documents and/or implementing treatment or mitigation measures. Any change to the approved project
scope of work will require re-evaluation for compliance with EHP requirements. If ground disturbing
activities occur during project implementation, SUBRECIPIENT shall notify the UASI Management
Team and ensure monitoring of ground disturbance. If any potential archeological resources are
discovered, SUBRECIPIENT shall immediately cease construction in that area and notify the UASI
Management Team, which will notify the appropriate State Historic Preservation Office. If
SUBRECIPIENT is using Grant Funds for a communication tower project, SUBRECIPIENT shall
complete its Federal Communication Commission (“FCC”) EHP process before preparing its Cal
OES/FEMA EHP materials, and shall include the FCC EHP materials in the Cal OES/FEMA submission.

EHP review and approval will not be eligible for reimbursement. Failure of SUBRECIPIENT to meet
federal, State, and local EHP requirements, obtain applicable permits, or comply with any conditions that
July 27, 2021 Item #5 Page 12 of 49
FY 20 UASI – SUBRECIPIENT Page 9 of 20 September 1, 2020
may be placed on the project as the result of FEMA’s and/or Cal OES's EHP review will result in the
denial of Reimbursement Requests.
3.14 National Energy Conservation Policy and Energy Policy Acts. SUBRECIPIENT shall

INDEMNIFICATION AND GENERAL LIABILITY
6.1 Indemnification. SUBRECIPIENT shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless each of
the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses arising from, in connection with or caused by
SUBRECIPIENT’s performance of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the following: (a) a
material breach of this Agreement by SUBRECIPIENT; (b) a material breach of any representation or
warranty of SUBRECIPIENT contained in this Agreement; (c) any personal injury or death caused,
directly or indirectly, by any act or omission of SUBRECIPIENT or its employees or agents; (d) any loss
of or damage to property caused, directly or indirectly, by any act or omission of SUBRECIPIENT or its
employees or agents; (e) the use, misuse or failure of any equipment or facility used by SUBRECIPIENT,
or by any of its employees or agents, regardless of whether such equipment or facility is furnished, rented
or loaned to SUBRECIPIENT by an Indemnified Party; (f) any tax, fee, assessment or other charge for
which SUBRECIPIENT is responsible under Section 10.4; or (g) any infringement of patent rights,
copyright, trade secret or any other proprietary right or trademark of any person or entity in consequence
of the use by any Indemnified Party of any goods or services furnished by SUBRECIPIENT or its
employees or agents to such Indemnified Party in connection with this Agreement. The foregoing
indemnity shall include, without limitation, reasonable fees of attorneys, consultants and experts and
related costs and San Diego’s costs of investigating any claims against San Diego.
6.2 Duty to Defend; Notice of Loss. SUBRECIPIENT acknowledges and agrees that its obligation
to defend the Indemnified Parties under Section 6.1: (a) is an immediate obligation, independent of its
other obligations hereunder; (b) applies to any Loss which actually or potentially falls within the scope of
Section 6.1, regardless of whether the allegations asserted in connection with such Loss are or may be

Indemnified Party and continues at all times thereafter. The Indemnified Party shall give
SUBRECIPIENT prompt notice of any Loss under Section 6.1 and SUBRECIPIENT shall have the right
to defend, settle and compromise any such Loss; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have
the right to retain its own counsel at the expense of SUBRECIPIENT if representation of such
Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by SUBRECIPIENT would be inappropriate due to conflicts of
interest between such Indemnified Party and SUBRECIPIENT. An Indemnified Party's failure to notify
SUBRECIPIENT promptly of any Loss shall not relieve SUBRECIPIENT of any liability to such
Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 6.1, unless such failure materially impairs SUBRECIPIENT’s
ability to defend such Loss. SUBRECIPIENT shall seek the Indemnified Party's prior written consent to
settle or compromise any Loss if SUBRECIPIENT contends that such Indemnified Party shares in
liability with respect thereto.
