of budgeted appropriations for the FY05 State Homeland Security Grant Program
from the personnel services category to the supplies and services and capital
expenditure categories within the ITS Departmental budget. The transfers are

. Transfer $32,000 within the personnel services expenditure category from
the reimbursed overtime account to the hourly wages account.
. Transfer $12,400 from the personnel services account expenditure

BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A

designated to be used for planning and exercises for general disaster
preparedness and counter terrorism. The Disaster Preparedness division was
going to use these funds to reimburse for overtime co~ts related to training and
exercises attended by safety personnel. However, staff is now recommending
that these funds be used to develop a pre-plans GIS based mapping project and
to purchase computer equipment to support the implementation of a reverse 911
system. Once completed, the pre-plans mapping system will enable the City's
public safety personnel to have automated mapping information of the layouts of
target occupancies within the city. These occupancies will include: businesses,
schools, hospitals, and apartment/condominium complexes. This information will
increase safety, as it will provide public safety personnel with advance notice of
the potential hazards that may be encountered as they respond to calls for
service. Upon completion of this project, information will be readily available via
the mobile data computers that are carried by public safety personnel. The
development of this system will also provide a valuable training tool for fire
personnel who will be walking the mapped sites as they gather the data for this
project.
The transfers of budgeted appropriations are requested in order to purchase the
required equipment and services for the preplans mapping project and the
reverse 911 system. Both of these projects are within the eligible scope of the
FY 05 State Homeland Security Grant Program.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICTS: Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated
by this action and has determined that it is not site specific and consequently the
500 foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section 18704.2(a)(1) is not
applicable to this decision.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this proposal are currently budgeted. There is no
fiscal impact related to the approval of this recommendation.
