I am against item 22B. SAPD does not need another <br />militarized vehicle. I reviewed the RFP for the FY19 DHS UASI grant money (link below). The RFP states that <br />the priority areas are: <br />1. emerging threats, including cybersecurity <br />2. lifelines (defined as an indispensable service that is critical to human health and safety). <br />Some of the suggested areas for funding under lifelines include food, water, sheltering; health and medical; <br />communications; and energy. <br /> <br />We are in a pandemic that is hitting our city harder than anywhere else in the county, during a record-setting <br />heat wave leading to rolling blackouts, all while students in our city are starting their first week of school at <br />home, online. Are these not emerging threats? Do these not require lifelines? How about we use the $353,653 <br />from DHS to invest in energy, medical supplies, and communications needs, as suggested in the RFP? I'm sure <br />the program officer would be happy to re-visit the proposal and make some amendments to our line items. <br /> <br />https://www.fema.gov/media-library-data/1555008381091- <br />144e7470ec5e1958d6ad5e103c0825ad/FY_2019_HSGP_NOFO_FINAL_508.pdf <br /> <br />Kelly Kraus-Lee <br />3 <br /> <br />
