DISCUSSION
The City of San Diego Office of Homeland Security, who administers the Urban Area
Security Initiative Grant Program (UASI), has notified the City of its FY 2006 UASI
allocation in the amount of$194,114, with $42,546 allocated for equipment and $151,568
for training. The equipment allocation will be used to purchase chemical resistant
personal protective equipment for police officers, who are potential first responders
during critical incidents. The equipment allocation will be expended this current fiscal
year.
The training allocation, which will be used in an overtime basis, will pay for PPE Level C
annual recertification of police officers, fust responder officer training, and Hazmat and
Incident Commander training for sworn supervisors. Training is scheduled to begin
during the next fiscal year and these costs will be included in the FY 2007/2008 city-
proposed budget.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
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
Approval of this resolution will result in a one-time appropriation of $42,546 to the
supplies and services category of the Federal Grants Fund (fund 272). The remaining
funds in the amount of $151,568 will be included in the FY 2007/2008 city-proposed
budget. The funding from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will completely
offset these costs. Therefore, there is no net fiscal impact to the City.
