REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Administrator
PREPARED BY: Patrick McIntosh, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2010-76 authorizing certain City officials to
execute applications and related documents for Emergency
Management and Homeland Security Grants
Statement of Issue: The City Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution
designating specific City officials to execute applications and related documents for
emergency management and homeland security non -matching grants and matching grants
that do not require direct costs, but are matched with in -kind administrative expenditures.

homeland security grants which require no City funding, but may require an in -kind
administrative match. There will be no direct costs to the City of Huntington Beach and the
grants do not obligate the City for future funding.
Recommended Action: Motion to:
Adopt Resolution No. 2010 76, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington
Beach Authorizing Certain City Officials to Execute Grant Applications and Documents."
Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the resolution and direct staff accordingly.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 10/18/2010 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FD10 019
Analysis: Over the past several years, the City's Office of Emergency Management and
Homeland Security has obtained many federal and state grants bringing over $5 million to
the City to improve the emergency management and homeland security program.
These grants have been obtained from a number of federal and state agencies, often with
short application and performance timeframes. They include Emergency Management
Program (EMPG), Citizen Corps, Hazard Mitigation, Americorps Plan Writing Grants and
Department of Homeland Security Grants, such as Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI),
Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) and other related grants.
The attached resolution (Attachment 1) will allow designated City staff members (City
Administrator or designee, Fire Chief or the Emergency Services Coordinator) to quickly
develop and submit additional applications and execute related documents to obtain grant
funding to enhance the Emergency Management and Homeland Security Program. These
grants allow for enhanced training of emergency response personnel and emergency
managers, creation of training exercises, and purchase of specialized equipment.
Certain positions are currently authorized to apply for non -matching homeland security
grants. However, since the existing resolution was adopted, the California Emergency
Management Agency requested that the definition of non -matching be more clearly
delineated. The new resolution states that these positions are authorized to obtain non -
matching grants and matching grants as long as they do not require direct costs, but are
matched with in -kind administrative expenditures.
Environmental Status: None.
Strategic Plan Goal: Maintain and Enhance Public Safety.
