RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager and the Chief of Police to
submit a grant application to the State of California, Office of Homeland
Security for the fiscal year 2007 Urban Areas Security Initiative Grant
funding program.
DISCUSSION
The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has developed the
Urban Areas Security Initiative funding program (UASI) UASI provides
funds to local emergency first responders to enhance security and overall
preparedness to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism.
The grant specifically provides funding for anti-terror equipment,
planning, training, exercises and technical assistance. DHS determines the
UASI Grant award amounts based upon an assessment of the urban area's
current risks and vulnerabilities as well as utilizing a peer review
process to score the urban area's grant application.
In FY 2006 the United States Department of Homeland Security combined the
Anaheim UASI and the Santa Ana UASI into a single Urban Area. The City of
Santa Ana will continue to be designated as an Urban Area Core City and
will share grant administrative responsibilities with the City of Anaheim.
The City of Santa Ana has worked with the City of Anaheim, the County of
Orange, and cities wi thin the Anaheim/ Santa Ana Urban Area to determine
current capabilities and needs and have established goals and objectives
for the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area. The City of Santa Ana will continue
to work in collaboration with the City of Anaheim to implement
complimentary strategies for responding to acts of terrorism.
