TITLE
ADOPT BY 4/5 VOTE AND BY TITLE ONLY RESOLUTION NO. CC-2202-002, A RESOLUTION OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA, MODIFYING THE ADOPTED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021-2022 TO ACCEPT $117,123 IN STATE HOMELAND
SECURITY PROGRAM (SHSP) GRANT FUNDS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors has accepted State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) 2018 grant funding from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CAL OES) and has been authorized to proceed with allocation of funds to program participants. Los Angeles County identified additional available grant funds due to savings from law enforcement agencies that did not begin or complete their proposed grant funded projects. As a result, the County is reallocating an additional portion of those funds ($117,123) to the City of Redondo Beach, under the SHSP 2018 Subrecipient Agreement governing grant management and grant fund expenditures.
BACKGROUND
The Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management is responsible for managing the grant and overseeing grant funds distributed to specified jurisdictions within Los Angeles County, including the City of Redondo Beach. The performance period for the SHSP 2018 grant was September 1, 2018 to May 31, 2021. In spring 2021, it was identified that a number of law enforcement agencies in the County were unable to begin their proposed projects within the performance period. At that time, the County, in conjunction with Los Angeles County Police Chiefs Association (LACPCA), worked to fund appropriate projects from law agencies in Los Angeles County within the performance period.
Given the very tight timeframe, it was difficult for many agencies to complete a new project before the deadlines. The City of Redondo Beach had a number of eligible projects and staff capability to implement within the grant timeframe. The Redondo Beach Police Department submitted additional projects and City Council approved the appropriation of 2018 SHSP funds totaling $395,007 in FY 2020-21.
At the final closing of the 2018 SHSP grant, additional savings were identified and the City of Redondo Beach staff was able to respond promptly to utilize the available funding. Specifically, the City of Redondo Beach is being awarded an additional $117,123.00 in SHSP 2018 funding for personnel costs that have been approved by the funding authority. The funds provided in this grant increase the capabilities of the Redondo Beach Police Department and other Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies by funding programs that address concerns with a terrorism nexus.
