UASI provides funds to local emergency first responders to <br />enhance security and overall preparedness to prevent, respond to, and <br />recover from acts of terrorism. The grant specifically provides funding <br />for anti - terrorism equipment, planning, training, and exercises. Santa Ana <br />has been designated as an Urban Area Core City for the fifth year. The <br />City of Santa Ana has fiscal responsibility for the FY07 UASI grant for the <br />Santa Ana / Anaheim Urban Area which encompasses the 34 jurisdictions in <br />Orange County. <br />The Santa Ana Police Department requests to amend the original contract to <br />purchase additional needed equipment which was unforeseen and identified <br />during the initial installation phase. Several cities and counties outside <br />of the OCOA currently deploy this exact system. In an effort to increase <br />first responder safety and response capabilities, and enhance <br />interoperability between jurisdictions within the OCOA as well as other <br />regions, the Santa Ana Police Department will need to purchase the same AVL <br />system. <br />25D -1 <br />
