Item Title:
2022 Homeland Security Grant Program Application Resolution
Submitted By:
Mistie Gardner
Summary of Request/Problem
The Department of Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is managed, at the state level, by the Texas Office of the Governor (OOG). One of the mandates by OOG, in order to receive HSGP funding requires jurisdictions applying for HSGP funding to have a council approved resolution each year prior to receiving HSGP awarded funds, which identifies the Authorized Official who will perform administration of the grant as well as a list of current year submitted projects.
Approving the resolution will assist the City of Garland with acquiring funding to help support public safety. This funding will be used to purchase resources to support the Garland Police Department Bomb Squad and SWAT Team, Garland Office of Emergency Management, Garland Fire Department Swiftwater Search and Rescue Team.
Recommendation/Action Requested and Justification
The Office of Emergency Management (OEM) staff recommends passing a resolution in support of the HSGP application to gain access to grant funding.
