related to the
DISCUSSION
On August 16, 2004, the City Council accepted a $15 million Urban Area
Security Initiative (UASI) 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 federal Office of
Domestic Preparedness (ODP).
On May 2, 2005, the City Council approved a $1,406,530 dollar agreement
wi th Motorola for a mobile data computer system (MDC) that enhances
access and connectivity to and transmission of critical data to emergency
vehicles. Using many of the components of the MDC system, the Fire
Department plans to install a Personnel Accountability System (PAS). A
PAS system identifies the location of emergency personnel when at the
site of an emergency. Motorola is able to provide the critical
infrastructure and hardware needed to integrate the PAS system into the
Fire Department's total MDC project and staff recommends approval of the
recommended action.
