Request for Council Action
Date: February 5, 2020
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Teri Ledoux, City Manager
By: Eric McBride, Acting Chief of Police
Subject: Homeland Security Grant Program
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, adopt Resolution No. 2020-29, authorizing the City Manager to accept the FY
2018 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) in the amount of $38,025; and
authorizing the Director of Finance to amend the FY 2019/20 Adopted Budget to
increase revenue and expenditures by $38,025.
Background
The City of San Bernardino has participated in the Homeland Security Grant Program
(HSGP) since 2011. The purpose of the FY 2018 HSGP is to support comprehensive
Homeland Security Grant Programs at the local level and to encourage the
improvement of mitigation, preparedness, and response and recovery capabilities for all
hazards. The City has received a project approval and expenditure notification letter
granting the City an amount of $38,025 to purchase an Operational Response Vehicle
to be used as a prime mover.
Discussion
The San Bernardino County Fire Protection District Office of Emergency Services is the
grant administrator for the HSGP. In December of 2017, they called for project
proposals and applications. Staff submitted a proposal to purchase a vehicle to be used
as a prime mover to tow or transport various pieces of equipment to incident scenes.
Since the project was submitted, a prime mover vehicle was purchased using a
separate grant so the vehicle is no longer needed. Staff is currently identifying services
and equipment that will improve preparedness, response, and recovery capabilities for
all hazards and will modify the original proposal. The City has received approval for the
funding and will use the funds to purchase the appropriate services and equipment as
prescribed by the grant.
2020-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals
The request to authorize the receipt, obligation, and expenditure of the FY 2019 HSGP
aligns with Key Strategic Target and Goal No. 3c: Improve Quality of Life. Constantly
evaluate public safety service delivery models to enhance the quality of service.
