EXPLANATION:
The FY17 State Homeland Security Grant Program was designed to supplement the purchase of
equipment, training, exercises, and planning for Police and Fire personnel. The San Diego County Office
of Emergency Services coordinates the requests for equipment, training, exercises, and planning. In
order to receive grant funds, National City must authorize the submission of the Standard Assurances for
the FY17 State Homeland Security Grant Program. National City's allocation was $50,631 and Lincoln
Acres was $841 for a grand total of $51,472 for equipment. The equipment funds will be divided evenly
between the City's Police and Fire Department.
This grant program requires the City to incur expenses, and then apply for reimbursement. In order to be
eligible for reimbursement, the Police and Fire Departments must purchase and/or receive the items prior
to the June 30, 2019 deadline. Staff recommends the utilization of $51,472 of City funds for equipment
r the Police and Fire Department, and to request reimbursement for such expenses from the San Diego
"ounty Office of Emergency Services.
