Agenda Item Text:
Approve Fiscal Year 2019 Reallocation Grant Funding of $950, for the Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness Grant Award AR3238, to support Hazardous Waste Operations Refresher training for Public Works and Environmental Health Services Employees.
Background:
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHIMSA) provides funding annually to support emergency preparedness and response efforts in local jurisdictions. These funds will be used for training related expenses in support of the County Interagency Hazardous Materials Response Team. The team comprises more than a half dozen different agencies to include local fire departments and districts, County Public Works, County Engineering, County Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Environmental Health Services, and the Office of Emergency Management.
This specific training event ensures county employees are training and certified to address hazardous materials spills on county owned property or areas where the county has jurisdictional authority and responsibility. The annual training is an 8 hour in person course.
