Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve Fiscal Year 2019 Reallocation Grant Funding of $44,807.40, for the Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness Grant Award AR3242, to support regional HAZMAT training equipment purchases of specialty monitoring equipment.
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 request is for Chempro 100i monitors used to identify unknown substances and determine the location of active leaks. Equipment will be used by regional partners during training events to limit wear and tear on existing equipment, as-well-as keep First Due equipment in service.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Complete purchases and process reimbursements.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If not funded,this funding opportunity will be missed and no purchases will be made thus degrading local response capability over time.
