<br />Part Three - Application Requirements and Process, Continued <br /> <br />Project <br />Narrative and <br />Budget <br />Worksheet <br /> <br />Eligible <br />Projects <br /> <br />The federal Department of Homeland Security is developing an EXCEL <br />worksheet that must be used to apply for FY04 VAS!. The final version of <br />the worksheet, with instructions, was not available when this Guide was <br />published, therefore, a DRAFT version of the worksheet is available on OES' <br />web site. The final version of the worksheet and instructions will be posted at <br />www.oes.ca.gov as soon as they are made available by federal DHS. <br /> <br />Applicatiolls submitted Oil the DRAFT form willllot be accepted. <br /> <br />In the past, ODP's homeland security related applications required that both <br />the state and grant recipients provide a Program Narrative generally <br />describing the type of activities that would be undertaken with grant funds. <br />Additionally, grant recipients were required to submit a Budget Detail <br />Worksheet which identified specific pieces of equipment that would be <br />purchased with grant funds. <br /> <br />For the FY04 VASI, using the Project Narrative and Budget Worksheet, core <br />cities and transit agencies will be required to identify a maximum of 20 <br />specific projects to be completed with VASI funds. For each project, the <br />core cities and transit agencies must identify: <br /> <br />. The goals and objectives in the Vrban Area Homeland Security Strategy, <br />Transit Security and Emergency Preparedness Plan or State Homeland <br />Security Strategy* supported by the project. <br />. The solution area (planning, training, exercises, etc) and solution area <br />sub-category (eligible activities) under which project work will be <br />performed. <br />. The value of funding, goods and services provided to each discipline by <br />solution area for the project. <br /> <br />NOTE: The 20 project maximum is for the transit agency's and core city's <br />application as a whole, including all jurisdictions within the urban area. <br /> <br />* The final version of the State Homeland Security Strategy was not <br />available when this Guide was published, therefore, a DRAFT version of the <br />Strategy has been included in this Guide. The final version of the Strategy <br />will be posted at www.oes.ca.gov as soon as it has been approved by federal <br />DHS. <br /> <br />Continued on next page <br /> <br />Page 30 <br /> <br />FY04 Urban Areas Security Initiative <br />
