DISCUSSION
The Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) program is approved by Congress through the
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022, and implemented by the U.S. Department of
FY2022 Urban Area Security Initiative Program Additional Funding

Homeland Security (DHS) through the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA), to assist high-density urban areas to strengthen the nation’s communities
against potential terrorist attacks and other hazards. The UASI program provides funds
to local emergency first responders to enhance security and overall preparedness to
prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. The grant specifically provides
funding for training, planning, equipment, exercises, and technical assistance.
In FY 2006 the DHS established a combined UASI in the Orange County Urban Area
called the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area (ASAUA) UASI. The City of Santa Ana now
shares grant administrative responsibilities with the City of Anaheim, annually
alternating the function of lead administrative agency. The City of Anaheim is the lead
agency for FY 2022 funding and is therefore the UASI Sub-Grantee, with Santa Ana
designated as a sub-recipient through Anaheim.
The Santa Ana Police Department has worked with the City of Anaheim, the County of
Orange, and cities within the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area to determine current
capabilities and needs and have established goals and objectives for the
Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area. The City of Santa Ana will work in collaboration with
the City of Anaheim to implement complementary strategies for responding to acts of
terrorism.
The FY 2022 funds will support the Homeland Security Training & Exercise Program to
enhance capabilities across multiple disciplines and jurisdictions in areas such as active
shooter, mass gathering and civil disturbances, cyber security, emergency
management, and advanced life-saving techniques. This appropriation adjustment will
add $105,000 to the current grant award of $1,822,800 previously approved by City
Council on October 17, 2023, for a new total grant award of $1,927,800. The additional
funding will be used to support regional exercise and regional training programs. The
Memorandum of Understanding being presented for approval was inadvertently
excluded from the October 17, 2023 staff report.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the appropriation adjustment will recognize $105,000 in the FY 2022 Urban
Area Security Initiative revenue account (no. 12514002-52001) and appropriate same to
the Urban Area Security Initiative expenditure account for projected expenditure as

INTRODUCTION
Cities of Anaheim and Santa Ana
Memorandum of Understanding
Urban Areas Security Initiative 2022 @Cta le
1. Since 2004, the federal Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through the State
of California's Office of Homeland Security (OHS), now known as California Office of
Emergency Services (CalOES), as the State Administrative Agency (SAA), has
designated the Cities of Anaheim and Santa Ana (hereafter referred to as "the
Cities") as Urban Areas and awarded each jurisdiction grants under the Urban Areas
Security Initiative (UASI). UASI Grants have been awarded yearly since 2004 with
each cycle having a performance period of approximately two years. In the 2004
and 2005 grant cycles, DHS awarded the funds and subsequently required :'
Homeland Security Strategy from each of the Urban Areas. Anaheim and Santa
Ana submitted a joint Strategy which ultimately formed the basis for Orange
County's overall terrorism preparedness efforts. In addition, DHS required an Initial
Strategy Implementation Plan (ISIP) as an overview of how the Cities planned to
spend UASI grant funds. The Strategy and the ISIP were approved for both grant
cycles and project development and implementation is on-going.
2. Starting with the 2006 grant cycle and with subsequent grant cycles, and at the
direction of Congress, DHS has redefined the criteria by which Homeland Security
funds are awarded under the UASI. In addition to population and population density,
DHS mandates that funds be distributed based upon risk and need. Additionally, as
part of the funding process, the latter grant cycles require a competitive application
process and the development of Investment Justifications to define how the Urban
Areas intend to spend requested funds. These changes make it clear that a city's or
cities' eligibility as high-risk destination is only the beginning of the analysis. The
analysis then has to consider what needs the cities are going to address with the
particular investments proposed. Only when the investment is justified will the
money flow to the cities that are otherwise eligible. This process ensures that not
only is DHS allocating funding based on risk and need, but that the funding is being
used to build the regional critical capabilities consistent with DHS goals and
priorities.
3. The Cities elected to define each Urban Area broadly to include all jurisdictions in
the county, as well as key disciplines, such as Health, Law, Fire, Emergency
Management and others as defined by DHS. Thus far, the grants have been
individually awarded to, and managed in all respects by, each City (Anaheim and
Santa Ana). The Cities have collaborated with the County of Orange and all other
Exhibit 3
jurisdictions to form a partnership that has garnered acclaim from DHS, CalOES and
Congress. The Cities have formed a true partnership with all stakeholders in the
county and have collaborated to enhance overall preparedness levels, at all times
focusing on mitigating risk and improving consequence management for the most
critical infrastructure and targets as ultimately identified in the Countywide Strategic
Plan for Terrorism Preparedness.
4. Starting in fiscal year 2006, the Cities joined together and became one UASI. With
this came the requirement that one of the two LIASI jurisdictions be designated as
the Single Point of Contact for purposes of the grant application and financial
management of the grant. The Cities wish to continue their collaborative effort with
the 2022 UASI Grant. The 2022 grant guidelines require formalization of the current
Orange County structure for determining the focus of grant fund spending, which
includes the use of the Urban Area Working Group to obtain input in developing
investment areas and specific projects to be funded. This process and input, which
is consistent with the process used in previous grant years, will assist the City
Managers of Anaheim and Santa Ana, as well as Orange County's Chief Executive
Officer, in making the final decisions with respect to grant expenditures.
OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE
In recognition of the 2022 Urban Areas Security Initiative grant purpose, guidelines, and
requirements, the Cities of Anaheim and Santa Ana wish to continue their strategic
partnership with each other, as well as with the County of Orange, all jurisdictions in the
county, and the stakeholder groups and disciplines that have thus far resulted in a
successful and acclaimed effort to reduce risk, mitigate vulnerabilities and manage
consequences related to a terrorism incident or threat. In addition, the Cities wish to
fulfill the requirements of DHS and Congress that all grant funds be distributed through
a funding program dedicated to a risk-based set of priorities, in which the Cities and
their partners will develop investment areas and projects that address the highest risks,
thus demonstrating their ability to effectively and efficiently spend grant funds in a
systematic and focused manner.
Therefore, the Cities of Anaheim and Santa Ana agree as follows:
1. Investment areas and projects will be developed as in previous years, consistent
with Orange County's Homeland Security Strategy, and with input from the Urban
Area Working Group.
2. The City of Anaheim will be designated as the Single Point of Contact (SPC) for
the 2022 UASI grant.

3. The SPC's responsibilities will include serving as the application lead; financial
and reporting management; and coordination of grant requirements with CalEMA
and DHS for the duration of the 2022 grant cycle.
4. Future SPC responsibilities will be negotiated and agreed upon by the Cities
when future grant cycles are announced.
5. This MOU has been submitted for review to CalOES, which fully supports and
approves of this arrangement.
