DISCUSSION On August 16, 2004, the City Council accepted a $15 million Urban Area Security Initiative grant from the federal Department of Homeland Security, through the State of California, Office of Homeland Security. This initiative was designed to enhance the domestic preparedness of urban areas by ensuring that all emergency first responders have adequate equipment and systems to prevent, respond to and recover from acts of terrorism. The grant provides total reimbursement to local agencies for equipment purchases approved and authorized by the Office of Disaster Preparedness. The Public Works Agency's Water Production Division is continuing with its security enhancement project to increase security at water pumping stations throughout the City, and has identified steel doors at several pump stations for replacement. The steel doors will be a minimum of 16-gauge with internal reinforcement, and will be equipped with securi ty louvers and locking mechanisms. The new steel doors will increase security at the water pumping stations by preventing unauthorized individuals from gaining access to the facilities, thereby reducing the possibility of a terrorist attack. 22H-1 CS 3fU
