RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation Adjustment No. 5030 authorizing new revenue in the Sheriff's Office (0255) in the amount of $178,268 from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Infrastructure Protection Program - 2007 Port Security Grant and appropriating it for the purchase of marine patrol equipment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No net County costs. This action increases revenue and appropriations by $178,268, reflecting the balance of remaining from the original grant award. (CFDA No. 97.056)

BACKGROUND:

On September 11, 2007 (Item C.99), the Board authorized the Sheriff's Office to apply for and accept the 2007 Port Security Grant. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) awarded the 2007 Port Security Grant to the Sheriff's Office to provide a combined security deterrence and response capability in the water, air and land, in cooperation with the U.S. Coast Guard, allied agencies and industry. A key element of the grant was the funding of equipment to enhance security deterrence capabilities established with the 2006 Port Security Grant, including the replacement of a Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) on the Sheriff's STARR II helicopter and the purchase of a Coda Underwater Inspection System (UIS) for use in the Marine Patrol Unit.

The original grant award was $1,120,000; $840,000 Federal and $280,000 County match. The County match was satisfied by the purchase of the FLIR system described above. The remaining balance of this grant being appropriated today requires no further match dollars.
