ATTESTED: July 27, 2010 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: KATHERINE SINCLAIR, Deputy cc: C. 34 To:Board of Supervisors From:Warren Rupf, Sheriff-Coroner Date:July 27, 2010 Contra Costa County Subject:Interagency Agreement with City & County of San Francisco to receive 09 UASI funds BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. California is home to five of these urban areas and the US Department of Homeland Security designated the City and County of San Francisco as the fiscal agent for the Bay Area Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI). The County, as a member of the Bay Area UASI, will receive $860,000 to further develop interoperable communications and an integrated records management system linking the County and other UASI partner jurisdictions. As the fiscal agent for the grant, the City and County of San Francisco has developed a standard form contract for use with all Bay Area UASI partner agencies requiring full indemnification of the City and County of San Francisco. The County has agreed to previous interagency agreements with the City and County of San Francisco, which contained the same language, to participate in regional homeland security efforts and access important Federal funding. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Should the Board decide not to approve entering into this agreement, the County will not receive it's share of the 2009 UASI Grant funds and the interoperable communications and information sharing projects will need to be either funded through another source or not performed, resulting in an impact on the larger East Bay Regional Communications System project.
