A-2023-217 <br />BEI: A 4 <br />c <br />C Cities of Anaheim and Santa Ana <br />Memorandum of Understanding <br />Urban Areas Security Initiative 2022 1,5 F6 C) <br />INTRODUCTION <br />Since 2004, the federal Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through the State <br />of California's Office of Homeland Security (OHS), now known as California Office of <br />Emergency Services (CalOES), as the State Administrative Agency (SAA), has <br />designated the Cities of Anaheim and Santa Ana (hereafter referred to as "the <br />Cities") as Urban Areas and awarded each jurisdiction grants under the Urban Areas <br />Security Initiative (UASI). UASI Grants have been awarded yearly since 2004 with <br />each cycle having a performance period of approximately two years. In the 2004 <br />and 2005 grant cycles, DHS awarded the funds and subsequently required 6 <br />Homeland Security Strategy from each of the Urban Areas. Anaheim and Santa <br />Ana submitted a joint Strategy which ultimately formed the basis for Orange <br />County's overall terrorism preparedness efforts. In addition, DHS required an Initial <br />Strategy Implementation Plan (ISIP) as an overview of how the Cities planned to <br />spend UASI grant funds. The Strategy and the ]SIP were approved for both grant <br />cycles and project development and implementation is on -going. <br />2. Starting with the 2006 grant cycle and with subsequent grant cycles, and at the <br />direction of Congress, DHS has redefined the criteria by which Homeland Security <br />funds are awarded under the UASI. In addition to population and population density, <br />DHS mandates that funds be distributed based upon risk and need. Additionally, as <br />part of the funding process, the latter grant cycles require a competitive application <br />process and the development of Investment Justifications to define how the Urban <br />Areas intend to spend requested funds. These changes make it clear that a city's or <br />cities' eligibility as high -risk destination is only the beginning of the analysis. The <br />analysis then has to consider what needs the cities are going to address with the <br />particular investments proposed. Only when the investment is justified will the <br />money flow to the cities that are otherwise eligible. This process ensures that not <br />only is DHS allocating funding based on risk and need, but that the funding is being <br />used to build the regional critical capabilities consistent with DHS goals and <br />priorities. <br />3. The Cities elected to define each Urban Area broadly to include all jurisdictions in <br />the county, as well as key disciplines, such as Health, Law, Fire, Emergency <br />Management and others as defined by DHS. Thus far, the grants have been <br />individually awarded to, and managed in all respects by, each City (Anaheim and <br />Santa Ana). The Cities have collaborated With the County of Orange and all other <br />
