In 2008, $116,043.00 was awarded to the City of Santa Monica Fire and Police
Departments as a part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal
Emergency Management Agency's UASI grant. The original- police and fire staff reports
were sent to City Council on November 23. 2010 and October 27, 2009 respectively,
and were approved for acceptance of this grant.
The UASI grant program was created to support large, "core" cities and those other
cities with contiguous borders to the core city. The UASI grant program is 100%
federally funded from the Department of Homeland Security to the State of California.
The City of Los Angeles acts as the core city for the UASI grant and allots funds to the
City of Santa Monica.
These funds have purchased necessary equipment, supplies, and .training in direct
support of overall regional goals to promote effective information gathering, sharing, and
response to threats and/or acts of terrorism. The proposed extension will increase the
performance period of the grant by an additional six months and allow for the City of Los
Angeles and the City of Santa Monica to complete the necessary steps in order to
expend all funds and complete required paperwork.
