A Resolution authorizing the acceptance of the 2018 Urban Area
Security Initiative Grant Program Funds
The Department of Homeland Security provides funds through the Urban Area Security Initiative
(UASI) Grant Program to cities to build and sustain emergency response capabilities. The grant
is administered regionally by the San Diego County Office of Emergency Services. Funds for
training are allocated to each jurisdiction based on population. Poway's allocation for Grant Fiscal
Year 2018 is $8,708.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing staff to accept
funds through the Urban Area Security Initiative Grant Program Fiscal Year 2018.
Discussion:
The Department of Homeland Security provides funds through UASI Grant Program to states and
local agencies to build and sustain trained members of our Safety Services Department. The
funds help advance the program's goals and objectives.
The County of San Diego applies for, receives and administers federal grant funds associated
with the program. The County's Unified Disaster Council, of which Poway is a member, is the
governing body that determines the local grant fund distribution formula, which is based on each
jurisdiction's population.
The City is committed to offer training for our Fire Department personnel for career development
and sustainability in our succession plan. This program offers free training that will increase the
capability of our workforce. After individuals take recommended classroom training, cities are
reimbursed by the County for the full amount of overtime and backfill while the individuals are in
training.
The County has allocated $8,708 to the City of Poway for staff overtime and backfill to cover the
cost of staff time during these trainings.
