Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
The Board has previously authorized, by Resolution, the CEO / Director and Sheriff-Coroner / Assistant Director to execute for, and on behalf of, the County of Mendocino any actions necessary for the administration of the State Homeland Security Grant. The last approval was for fiscal year 2017.
Summary of Request:
The Homeland Security Grant is pass-through funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to the State of California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and down to the individual Operational Areas. Funding is used to support state, tribal, territorial, and local preparedness activities that address high priority preparedness gaps across all core capabilities that support terrorism preparedness. The grant requires a certified copy of the Board of Supervisors Resolution appointing agents authorized to execute any actions necessary under this Grant with the Homeland Security Grant application.
The Homeland Security grant is an annually reoccurring grant in which funding is allocated to individual counties based on population and other factors. Locally the Homeland Security Grant funds are allocated by the Approval Authority Body which consists of the Sheriff-Coroner, Ukiah City Police Chief, Health and Human Services Agency Director, the Fort Bragg Fire Chief, and the Laytonville Fire Chief with a minimum of 25% of funds being required for law enforcement per the grant requirements. Traditionally these funds have been spent on training alert and warning tools, and equipment for Mendocino County to help prevent and respond to critical incidents. FY 18 includes funding for law enforcement training and equipment, hazardous materials response equipment, the Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT), the Mendocino Alert and Warning System and other related activities.
