Issue Detail: The Fire Department is seeking approval to accept grant funding from the 2022 State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP) in an amount up to $140,000 for the purchase of Hazmat Detector Explosive Infrared Spectrometry. This is a Federal grant administered by the Sacramento County Office of Emergency Services that is passed through the State of California and the Sacramento Operational Area and is provided directly to public safety agencies within the County of Sacramento. The purpose of the grant is to support and build capabilities to protect against, prevent, respond to, and recover from terrorist acts and other types of emergencies or disasters.
The Fire Department is seeking to strengthen its Hazmat Programs with the purchase and implementation of equipment that would enhance protection of critical infrastructure and key resources, and bolster regional catastrophic incident planning, response and recovery.
In addition, this equipment would increase the operational capability of the Fire Department and other

public safety agencies in the County of Sacramento.
Policy Considerations: The continued response to community, industry, construction, and business for rescue services is consistent with the City Council goal of improving and expanding public safety.
Acceptance of SHSGP funding is consistent with the City Council actions relative to State and Federal grant awards and the City’s goal of establishing and strengthening community and regional partnerships.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: This report concerns administrative activities that do not constitute a “project” as defined by section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and is otherwise exempt pursuant to sections 15061(b)(3); 15378(b)(2).
Sustainability: Not Applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: Not Applicable.
Financial Considerations: The total grant award is for an amount up to $140,000. The acceptance of the 2022 SHSGP funding does not augment the Fire Department General Fund budget; nor is there any obligation on the part of the City for matching funds. The cost to purchase the equipment will be fully funded through the 2022 SHSGP grant.
Staff is recommending that an operating grant for the 2022 SHSGP grant (G12903600) be established with revenue and expenditure budgets of $140,000 in the Operating Grants Fund (Fund 2702) to allow for the purchase of hazmat, water rescue and rescue taskforce equipment as outlined in the award of the 2022 SHSGP grant.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): If awarded, City procurement policies will be adhered to in the acquisition of goods and services related to this grant. ..End
