BACKGROUND:
In 2005, the cities of Anaheim and Santa Ana were selected as administrators of the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) Grant for the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area jurisdiction. Each year, Anaheim and Santa Ana trade off as the lead agency responsible for the program cycle. Anaheim through the Anaheim Police Department, is the lead agency for the FY 2022 UASI Grant. The City of Costa Mesa is within the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area jurisdiction. As part of this Urban Area, the City of Costa Mesa is eligible to receive equipment or services purchased with grant funds or to receive reimbursement for purchases of authorized equipment, services, joint training exercises, and expenses related to overtime for training evolutions, upon prior written approval from Anaheim.
The UASI Grant is a reimbursement grant, meaning cities must expend their own funds for eligible expenditures and then apply for reimbursement. In an effort to ensure each city does not expend funds for equipment, services, or training costs that are not allowable under the UASI Grant, each city is required to obtain prior written approval from the Emergency Management Bureau of the Anaheim Police Department for expenditures it plans to submit for reimbursement.
The FY 2022 UASI grant performance period for the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area is from September 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025. The Sub-Recipient Performance Period is August 9, 2023 to March 31, 2025. The City of Costa Mesa is considered a sub-recipient and must establish eligibility to receive grant funds by submitting an eligibility package that includes a signed FY 2022 UASI Sub-Recipient Agreement.
ANALYSIS:
If the City Council authorizes the City Manager to enter into the Sub-Recipient Agreement, the City would be eligible to receive reimbursement in the event the City incurs eligible expenses during the grant period (August 9, 2023 to March 31, 2025).
The Police Department staff, with assistance from the Finance Department, will continue to track City expenditures associated within the grant parameters. If approved, the Police Department would process reimbursement requests with UASI grant staff on behalf of the City.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could reject City participation in the UASI Grant Program. This approach would cause those expenses to be paid from the City’s budget with no potential for reimbursement from the UASI Grant funds.
FISCAL REVIEW:
No fiscal impact.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed this report and the agreement between the City of Anaheim and the City of Costa Mesa and has approved them as to form.
CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:
This item supports the following City Council Goal:

CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends City Council:
Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the attached Sub-Recipient Agreement with the City of Anaheim for the FY 2022 Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) Grant Program.
