BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City of Culver City has been awarded grant funding from the 2010 Homeland
Security Grant Program (SHSGP). The grant is administered through the County
of Los Angeles and is the result of a federal effort to assist local agencies in
obtaining the equipment needed to effectively respond to a major incident or
disaster.
This grant will enable the City to acquire three portable radios. These new radios
will replace existing portables that do not comply with current standards and are
reaching the end of their expected service life.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
There is no matching requirement for this grant. The grant provides for all costs
needed to purchase the portable radios, including tax and shipping. A budget
amendment is needed to appropriate the grant funds into the appropriate accounts. City of Culver City, California
