RECOMMENDED ACTION

Inc. for the purchase of a Mobile Command Center in an amount not to exceed
$475,000.
DISCUSSION
On August 16, 2004, the City Council accepted a $15 million Urban Area
Security Initiative grant from the federal Department of Homeland Security,
through the State of California, Office of Homeland Security. This
initiative was designed to enhance the domestic preparedness of urban areas
by ensuring that all emergency first responders have adequate equipment and
systems to prevent, respond to and recover from acts of terrorism. The
grant provides total reimbursement to local agencies for equipment
purchases approved and authorized by the federal Office of Domestic
Preparedness.
The Police Department is the largest municipal police agency in Orange
County, and the lead agency in one of the five mutual aid regions in the
county. The department currently does not posses a full-service mobile
command vehicle that can be used for a variety of emergency incidents,
including Homeland Defense measures, major scene management, and Special
Weapons and Tactics operations. In order to effectively provide command
and control for these incidents, and to facilitate a safe and peaceful
resolution to the extent possible, a full-service Mobile Command Vehicle
(MCV) is of paramount importance. In light of the homeland defense efforts
and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) threat, it is even more critical that
the Department have a capable MCV that allows for the coordinated handling
of these threats.
