body
BACKGROUND
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) plays an important role in the implementation of the National Preparedness System by supporting the building, sustainment, and delivery of core capabilities essential to achieving the National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient Nation. On March 16, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved a resolution to participate in fiscal year 2020 HSGP. During this board meeting a summary of the plan and allocation of funds for fiscal year 2020 was outlined to include an Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) system estimated to cost $25,000 which would be fully reimbursable from HSGP. During fiscal year 21-22 budget it was approved as a capital asset purchase.
This allocation of funds was to be a subaward to the City of Napa for the purchase and implementation of an ALPR system. Due to the Environmental Historic Preservation required reviews and modifications from fixed to mobile ALPR’s, the capital asset purchase was rolled over and extended with Cal OES HSGP through FY 23-24. However, during the FY 23-24 budget approval process, neither the capital asset appropriations nor offsetting grant revenue were budgeted. With the closure of the project and the subaward now due to City of Napa, staff is requesting a budget amendment to allocate appropriations to this project which will be fully reimbursed by Cal OES and the federal HSGP.
Requested Action:
1. Approve and authorize a Budget Amendment increasing appropriations for the Office of Emergency Services Grants budget capital assets (1380005-55400) by $25,000 with offsetting revenue from the Fiscal Year 2020 HSGP funding in the amount of $25,000 (1380005-43715).
