SUBJECT: Accept donated equipment
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff, or his designee, to accept a donation of
1-1/2 ton Power plant trailer, with two 10KW generators attached, from the
Federal Government.
Donated items will increase the Emergency Services Division's effectiveness by
providing additional equipment for the Sheriff's Search and Rescue Program, the
Sheriff's Dive Team, and the Mutual Aid Mobile Field Force.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The annual maintenance cost for the above equipment is not expected to exceed
$500 per year. Funds for maintenance will come out of Emergency Services
(0362) budget.
III. BACKGROUND:
The Office of Emergency Services provides planning, training, and support services
to help citizens and agencies prepare for and manage disaster, including simulation
exercise drills. This division also manages the Homeland Security Unit, which
has responsibility for Crime Prevention, Crime Analysis and Intelligence; as well
as management of the Countywide Community Warning System.
The purpose of the Power plant trailer is to provide continuous power (by alternating
the use of the generators) to the mobile operations center trailer during a time of
disaster or act of terror. The power plant trailer has enough power to provide
sustained power to all electrical devices maintained within the trailer and additional
portable light units. In addition to this use, the trailer will be available for other
portable power needs within the Operational Area.
