Subject:2014 Urban Area Security Initiative Grant
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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 $483,913.00 to sustain and maintain the Automated Regional Information Exchange System
(ARIES) and to acquire an OP mobile incident command vehicle to enhance incident communication, coordination
and operational support to field operations during regional responses for the East Bay Hub Operational Areas. Also,
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 inter-agency 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 2014
UASI Grant funds and the ARIES maintenance, and East Bay Hub Operational Areas' risk management and planning
to increase regional response capability, will need to be either funded through another source or not performed.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.
