EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT & GRANTS 06-14-04
The Board discussed the FFY 2003 Homeland Security Funds. Paula Phillips, Director of Emergency Management, stated that the Homeland Security Grant Allocations Task Force recently met to discuss how the FFY 2003 Part I alloca tion in the amount of $84,473 should be used to benefit first responders within Douglas County. The Allocations Task Force consists of representatives of all Douglas County first responder agencies and all were present for the discussion. The Task Force recommended the funds be allocated as follows:
Building Security System for Baldwin City Police $10,000
Building Security System for Eudora City Police $5,000
Interoperability Communications System $25,000
Mobile Data Communications for Mobile Command Center $10,000
Portable Repeater for Mobile Command Center $15,000
Tomes/Dolphin Subscription $6,300
Patient Transport Liter $2,000
Portable Generator for Hazardous Materials Vehicle $4,000
Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Face Pieces $5,000
SKEDS -- Mass Casualty Patient Transport Devices $2,400
Jones stated he was skeptical about the Tomes expenditure.
Johnson noted the problem is the way the federal government spends money. Douglas County d sn't have any choice but to take the money and spend it in the best way possible and since the Commission d sn't have the expertise to determine the way it should be spent, they have to rely on the Task Force. He stated the County will be better off with safer equipment and he liked the process of all entities being engaged in the decision making process.
McElhaney stated he would like some time to research the SKEDS equipment.
It was the consensus of the Board to table final approval of this item until McElhaney has had an opportunity to research the SKEDS equipment. No action was taken.
