DISCUSSION
The Governor's Office of Homeland Security is distributing federal funding
to local governments under the 2005 Buffer Zone Protection Program (BZPP)
in the amount of $1,085,810. Funding in the amount of $47,287.50 has been
awarded to the City of Santa Ana to secure mitigation measures outlined for
the Westfield Main Place Mall. This funding is to be used for the costs of
equipment related to enhancing the protection of this identified Critical
Infrastructure and Key Resources. Main Place Mall is considered to be a
potential terrorist target that has been determined to be of national level
importance in the areas of public health and safety, economic and national
security, and public confidence.
Under the BZPP, the Santa Ana Police Department has prepared a
Vulnerability Reduction Purchasing Plan (VRPP) for the identified site,
which has been approved by the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and
the Federal Department of Homeland Security. This grant funding is to be
used to purchase equipment from the Department of Homeland Security's 2005
Authorized Equipment List.
