Approve an Appropriation Adjustment recognizing the FY 2010 Urban Areas Security Initiative in <br />the amount of $3,421,844 in revenue account (no. 12514002-52001) and appropriate same in <br />the FY 2010 Urban Areas Security Initiative Program Grant expenditure accounts (no. <br />12514491-various). <br />DISCUSSION <br />The United States Department of Homeland Security has developed the Urban Areas Security <br />Initiative funding program (UASI). UASI provides funds to local emergency first responders to <br />enhance security and overall preparedness to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. <br />The grant specifically provides funding for anti-terrorism equipment, planning, training, exercises and <br />technical assistance. <br />In FY 2006 the United States Department of Homeland Security combined the Anaheim UASI and the <br />Santa Ana UASI into a single Urban Area. The City of Santa Ana now shares grant administrative <br />responsibilities with the City of Anaheim, annually alternating the function of lead administrative <br />agency. The City of Anaheim is the lead agency for FY 2010 funding and is therefore the UASI <br />Grantee, with the City of Santa Ana designated as a sub-grantee through Anaheim. <br />The City of Santa Ana Police and Fire Departments have worked with the City of Anaheim, the <br />County of Orange, and cities within the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area to determine current <br />capabilities and needs and have established goals and objectives for the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban <br />Area. The City of Santa Ana will work in collaboration with the City of Anaheim to implement <br />complimentary strategies for responding to acts of terrorism. <br />20A-1
