Homeland Security Grant Program <br />January 17, 2017 <br />Page 2 <br />Total funding for the UASI Grant Program is established through an Appropriation Act set forth by <br />Congress. Award amounts for each Urban Area are determined using a methodology assessing <br />relative risk of terrorism, in accordance with the 9/11 Act. Over the years, Congress has steadily <br />decreased the amount of funding allocated to DHS and subsequently the UASI Grant Program. As a <br />result, the total number of Urban Areas and the award amounts have been greatly reduced. Santa <br />Ana's award amount has steadily decreased from a high of $25,254,334 in 2004 to approximately <br />$4,400,000 in recent fiscal years. The City of Santa Ana will be awarded funding for the FY 2017 <br />UASI Grant Program in an amount to be determined by Cal OES by the third quarter of 2017. <br />Additional funding, in support of the Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center, will also be <br />awarded in an amount to be determined by Cal OES in the fourth quarter of 2017. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item allows the City to meet Goal #1 - Community Safety, Objective #2 (broaden <br />communications, information sharing and community awareness of public safety activities), and <br />Objective #6 (enhance public safety integration, communications, and community outreach). <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />An Appropriation Adjustment will be submitted following the notice of award for the FY 2017 Urban <br />Areas Security Initiative from Cal OES: revenue account (no. 12514002 - 52001) and expenditure <br />accounts (nos. 12514407- various). <br />Carlos Rojas <br />Chief of Police <br />Santa Ana Police Department <br />Exhibit: 1.
