ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: November 14, 2006 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. --,'~,j-,~-- <br />SUBJECT: Acceptance of 2006 Department of Homeland Security Grant Funding <br />DEPARTMENT: Emergency Management PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />9/27/06 Notification Letter <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Kent McKenzie, 968-2050 <br />Rod Visser, 245-2300 <br />PURPOSE: To accept $29,606.40 in Homeland Security funds for the purchase of 800MHz <br />radios identified as needed for various Orange County public safety and volunteer agencies, <br />with the State of North Carolina to purchase the radios on the County's behalf. <br />BACKGROUND: As noted in the attached September 27, 2006 letter from NC Department of <br />Crime Control and Public Safety Secretary Bryan Beatty, Orange County has been selected to <br />receive $29,606.40 in Homeland Security funds for the purchase of 800MHz radios. The <br />portable radios provided through the grant will further allow the County's emergency response <br />agencies to move toward migration onto the statewide partnership 800 MHz radio system. <br />Because portable and mobile radios make up a substantial portion of the overall cost of moving <br />to the system, any grant funds that can be received toward the project will reduce the financial <br />burden upon local agencies. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The County would accept $29, 606.40 for the purchase of 800MHz <br />radios (the State of North Carolina would purchase the radios on the County's behalf). Funds <br />are already available in the County's budget to meet the matching funds requirement <br />associated with this grant. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: <br />1. Accept the grant funding and request that the State of North Carolina purchase the <br />radios on the County's behalf; and <br />2. Authorize staff to administer and sign all grant paperwork such as may be required. <br />
