BACKGROUND
On occasion and as funds become available, the CalOES and the Orange County Sheriff's
Department request local agencies to participate in funding opportunities to obtain equipment and
supplies related to the Department of Homeland Security Homeland Security Grant Program
(HSGP) and the Emergency Management Program Grant (EMPG).
The HSGP supports the implementation of state Homeland Security Strategies. Locally, the grant
funding is coordinated through the Orange County Sheriff's Department on behalf of the
Operational Area. There is no direct funding to the City of Tustin, and benefits from the grant are
received through the allocation of equipment and training and materials for the Community
Emergency Response Team.
The Emergency Management Performance Grant provides annual funding to support Emergency
Management programs. It is also coordinated through the Orange County Sheriffs Department on
behalf of the Operational Area. Past funds have been used for equipping the Police Department
Community Response Vehicle and for computers and other equipment associated with the City's
Emergency Operations Center.
The CalOES requires that grant applications, transfer agreements and grant assurance documents
must be signed by an authorized agent designated by the City Council. Approval of this resolution
will designate and authorize the Chief of Police as the City's agent for these grant programs for the
next five (5) years.
