MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Teri Davis, Program Manager
DATE: 08/01/2018 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Resolution to Appoint Authorized Agents to Obtain Federal
Department of Homeland Security Grant Funds Subgranted through
the State of California and Rescind Resolution No. 2013-3245
BACKGROUND
In November 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2013-3245 appointing
certain employees by name and position title as authorized agents to process
Department of Homeland Security (Homeland Security) funding documents. Changes
in personnel and job titles have transpired since 2013, which causes the need for the
City to update the designated signers on Homeland Security grant documents.
DISCUSSION
Homeland Security provides grant funding for emergency management performance
programs, such as Homeland Security’s Emergency Management Performance Grant
(EMPG), the Homeland Security Grant, and the Hazard Mitigation Grant. Of the three,
EMPG is non-competitive and the City of Moorpark (City) is entitled to an annual
appropriation that is calculated based on population. EMPG is subgranted through the
State of California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (OES) and the City, as a
member of the Ventura County Operational Area, is a sub-grantee for EMPG funds
approved for County OES. The City receives approximately $15,000 EMPG funds
annually, which must be expended on emergency management projects, programs, or
operations. The City may also apply for competitive funding such as the Homeland
Security Grant and Hazard Mitigation Grant from time to time, and has received funding
through the Homeland Security Grant program within the past five years. The
appointment of authorized agents is required to process funding documents for the
Homeland Security grant programs.
