LYNDA M. JENKINS, GRANT ADMINISTRATOR

❑ Staff recommends City Council accept a grant in the amount of $9,282 from the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), for Fire Department operations
to augment the ventilation prop.
❑ Approve a Budget Adjustment No. 10-021 to appropriate the grant funds to the Fire
Department's operating budget (Attachment 1).
BACKGROUND:
The City requested $9,282 in grant funds, to purchase equipment to construct a ventilation
prop at fire station #4 for the Costa Mesa Fire Department through the 2009 Assistance to
Firefighters Grant Program (AFG) through the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA). The grant will allow the Fire Department to build and augment their training
ventilation prop at their regional training facility located at fire station #4. There is 20% in
matching funds required by FEMA, which equates to $1,856.
The Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program is designed as an opportunity for the United
States Congress to work with FEMA to enhance basic fire service delivery throughout the
country. These grants are extremely competitive and fire departments across the entire
nation vie for these funds for the betterment of the jurisdictions they serve.
ANALYSIS -
The FEMA grant will enable the City of Costa Mesa to purchase materials to construct a
ventilation prop for training purposes for our first responders. There is a 20% match of
funds required as part of this grant.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
No alternatives were considered.
FISCAL REVIEW:
By accepting this grant, there is a 20% City matching funds required. Receipt of the grant
funds will bind the City to the terms and conditions of the grant for use of the funds.
Budget Adjustment number 10-021, is recommended for adoption, to recognize grant
revenue and appropriate the grant funding received to the Fire Department's operating
budget, for the equipment purchases referenced herein. The matching funds are already
appropriated in the Fire Department's operating budget.
LEGAL REVIEW:
No legal review is necessary for this item.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends City Council accept this grant in the amount of $9,282 from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the purchase of an SCBA filling station.
