Homeland Security Grant Program <br />September 3, 2013 <br />Page 2 <br />Total funding for the UASI Grant Program is established through an Appropriation Act set forth by <br />Congress. Award amounts for each Urban Area are determined using a methodology assessing <br />relative risk of terrorism, in accordance with the 9/11 Act. Over the years, Congress has steadily <br />decreased the amount of funding allocated to DHS and subsequently the UASI Grant Program. As a <br />result, the total number of Urban Areas and the award amounts have been greatly reduced. Santa <br />Ana's award amount has steadily decreased from a high of $25,254,334 in 2004 to the current FY <br />2013 award of $2,490,000. <br />The subject action will accept and appropriate the $2,490,000 for the FY2013 Urban Areas Security <br />Initiative Grant Program. In addition, the proposed action will accept and appropriate FY2013 <br />Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funds in the amount of $225,000 for use in supporting the <br />Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center (OCIAC). <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The Appropriation Adjustment will recognize $2,715,000 in the FY 2013 Urban Areas Security <br />Initiative revenue account (no. 12514002- 52001) and appropriate same to expenditure accounts (nos. <br />12514407- various). <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS <br />Carlos Rojas Francisco Gutierrez <br />Acting Chief of Police Executive Director <br />Police Department Finance & Mgt.
