ATTESTED: August 14, 2012 David Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: Carrie Del Bonta, Deputy cc: C. 51 To:Board of Supervisors From:David O. Livingston, Sheriff-Coroner Date:August 14, 2012 Contra Costa County Subject:2011 Urban Area Security Initiative Grant 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 U.S. 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 $170,000.00 to enhance risk management and planning through grant projects that increase regional response capability for the East Bay Hub Operational Areas. 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 its share of the 2011 UASI Grant funds and the risk management and planning to increase regional response capability for the East Bay Hub Operational Areas will need to be either funded through another source or not performed.
