A Homeland Security grant was established by the State, in part, to provide for the purchase of
specialized equipment to enhance event and incident management and strengthen the ability of Law
Enforcement to disrupt, deter, respond to and recover from terrorist acts. Equipment approved for

Azusa.

ANALYSIS:
The County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors has accepted the 2017 State Homeland Security
Program (SHSGP) for the Los Angeles County Operational Area and received requisite State approvals
to proceed with the allocation of funds to program recipients. In order to facilitate this effort, the
County of Los Angeles requires a formal Subrecipient Agreement (SRA) with the City of Azusa, which
outlines the requirements of the grant and provides the guidelines to follow for SHSGP reimbursement
of eligible expenses of which we have been authorized $93,124 to purchase all-spectrum portable radios,
APPROVED
