PURPOSE:

To request City Council approval of a proposed resolution that authorizes the City Manager to accept $43,744.00 in State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP) 03, Part II Critical Infrastructure Protection funds for the Police Department.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

In early 2003, the President signed into law the Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2003, which provided $16 million to the State of California to reimburse local government for the cost of protecting critical infrastructure sites during the hostilities with Iraq.  The designated timeframe for reimbursement was March 17, 2003 to April 16, 2003.

On June 6, 2003, the Police Department applied for reimbursement for Police Officer overtime to protect critical infrastructure sites during the above timeframe.  On July 1, 2003, additional information was requested by the Office of Emergency Services, and provided by the Police Department.  On August 8, 2003, the City was notified that our grant application had been approved for the entire amount requested.  All paperwork has been finalized, pending a Council resolution.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a reimbursement grant.  At this time, Staff is requesting that City Council accept $43,744.00 in SHSGP 03, Part II Critical Infrastructure Protection funds to reimburse Police Officer overtime costs in the City of Burbank during the hostilities with Iraq.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends City Council adoption a resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept $43,744.00 in State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP) 03, Part II Critical Infrastructure Protection funds.
