Training Funds

DISCUSSION:
The Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant was established in 2003 by the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), to provide funding for training and
equipment for emergency personnel. The urban areas are chosen by DHS
based on a formula that takes into account factors such as critical infrastructure,
population density, and credible threat information. Among other densely
populated areas, the Cities of Santa Ana and Anaheim were jointly awarded
approximately $12 million dollars in the fiscal year 2006. Both UASI cities and
the County of Orange have teamed up to forge one of the most cohesive,
focused, and regional partnerships anywhere in the nation.
The City of Newport Beach falls within the Santa Ana UASI area, administered by the
City of Santa Ana. Originally the Santa Ana UASI set aside $54,001 to the City of
Newport Beach for reimbursement costs associated with training emergency
personnel including Fire, Police, and EOC staff. A few months after receiving the
initial award, the City was notified an additional $10,000 was available. Currently, the
City has been granted an extra $32,901 for a grand total of $96,902 to continue its
training efforts. All UASI Grant funds have been, and will, be used to reimburse the
City for any training costs incurred such as tuition, overtime, back fill, and travel
expenses for approved courses. No matching funds are required to accept this grant.
