emergency management and homeland security non -matching grants
Funding Source: The Fire Department or the Emergency Management and Homeland

Approve Resolution No. 2 0 0 7 -1, authorizing the Fire Chief or the Emergency Services
Coordinator to obtain emergency management and homeland security grants and to execute
related documents.
Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the resolution and continue the present practice of

security grants as they become available. This could result in the loss of some grant
opportunities due to short application timeframes.
