RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 5019 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $141,600 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP) and $14,100 from the CCCFPD General Operating Fund and appropriating it to the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (7300) for the purchase of fourteen (14) portable radios.

FISCAL IMPACT:

89% Federal grant; 11% CCCFPD General Operating Fund. $141,600 funded from the State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP) and $14,100 from CCCFPD General Operating Fund. The cost of the radios is $141,471; sales tax and shipping bring the total cost to $155,639.

BACKGROUND:

On February 4, 2020, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Board of Directors authorized the Fire Chief, or designee, to apply for and accept grant funding for the purchase of portable radios. These radios will provide a cache of additional East Bay Regional Communications System (EBRCS) portable radios for engines that are upstaffed during disaster response activities. The Fire District was awarded $141,600 from the FY 2020 State Homeland Security Grant Program toward the purchase of these radios and expects to recieve the funds in FY 2022/23.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the fire crews staffing engines lacking portable radios will not be properly equipped for disaster response activities.
