RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No. 5065 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $35,000 for the Sheriff Emergency Services Division (0362) and appropriating it to the Community Warning System for the purchase of new equipment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases revenues and appropriations for FY 15/16 by $35,000.

BACKGROUND:

The Community Warning System (CWS) is an emergency warning system that consists of alert, notification and education. The alert and notification features are linked by a radio frequency network, and are designed to function when telephone systems fail. Signal carried by radio frequency activates every part of the emergency system.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Contra Costa County's Community Warning System alerts the community and emergency responders when there is a hazardous materials incident. The CWS includes a system of outdoor sirens that can be quickly sounded by a large industry in the event of a chemical release that could impact the public. Emergency response agencies can also activate the warning system for transportation and other types of incidents.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Appropriations and estimated revenue will not reflect what is anticipated for budget unit 0362.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
