UASI provides funds to local emergency first responders to <br />enhance security and overall preparedness to prevent, respond to, and <br />recover from acts of terrorism. The grant specifically provides funding <br />for anti- terrorism equipment, planning, training, and exercises. Santa Ana <br />has been designated as an Urban Area Core City for the past eight years. <br />The City of Santa Ana has fiscal responsibility for the FY07 UASI grant for <br />the Santa Ana / Anaheim Urban Area which encompasses the 34 jurisdictions <br />in Orange County. <br />On November 17, 2008, LDM Engineering was awarded a $325,000 contract to <br />upgrade the computer and radio service room to house an expanded security <br />camera system. However, staff identified a need to increase the scope <br />during the installation process to include the purchase and installation of <br />EMT (Electronic metallic Tubing) conduit. Approximately $5,000 is included <br />for annual maintenance. The Video Security System is now operational and <br />enhances the protection of the Police Administration Facility. <br />22D -1 <br />
