Legislation Title: AN ORDINANCE relating to security from terrorism; authorizing increases to existing appropriations under Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) Grant Program I and II in the 2004 Budget; accepting money when received; adding positions; and amending the 2004-2009 Adopted Capital Improvement Program; all by a three-fourths vote of the City Council. |
|
|
·
Summary of the Legislation: This legislation increases
existing Budget Control Level appropriations to City Departments to carry out
the purpose of grant agreements authorized by Ordinance 121283, and adds two positions. In addition, the legislation amends the
2004-2009 Adopted CIP by adding two projects, and amending an existing
description of a third project.
·
Background: Seattle is one of seven cities that were
awarded funding under UASI Grant Program I, and one of 30 cities awarded
funding under UASI Grant Program II.
Ordinance 121283, passed by the City Council on September 22, 2003,
authorized the Police Department to apply for funding from these grants. That ordinance further appropriated an
initial allocation of funding in the amount of $1,597,300 under UASI I and
$150,000 under UASI II, for immediate needs of conducting vulnerability
assessments and providing urgently needed equipment to City departments.
The projects to be implemented with the funds will
further the City’s strategy for preparedness by appropriating $20,236,834 in
federal homeland security resources that were awarded under the UASI Grant
Programs I and II. In addition to
providing necessary equipment and training for first responders in the Police
and Fire Departments, the package provides equipment, training and
infrastructure protection for the Department of Information Technology (DoIT),
Seattle Department of Transportation, Seattle City Light, Seattle Public
Utilities, Seattle Center, the Department of Planning and Development,
Seattle-King County Public Health, and the City’s partners at the Washington
Department of Transportation and the University of Washington.
Furthermore, resources for a project to connect electronic communications
among Emergency Operations Centers in Seattle, the State of Washington, and
King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties are appropriated to DoIT, which will
manage the multi-jurisdictional project.

Notes: With respect to the information in the “2005 Anticipated Appropriation” column, ordinances implementing subsequent UASI grants may appropriate resources for additional equipment, training or electronic communication systems similar or identical to those appropriated in this Council Bill, but those decisions have not yet been made. Additional appropriations from UASI I and II will be made only under two circumstances: 1) if the Department of Homeland Security disqualifies proposed spending, or 2) if the City chooses to reallocate resources in the event that any project is anticipated to be unable to meet the grant requirement to obligate resources by mid-2005.

Notes: This ordinance is depositing $144,000 in the General Fund
to reimburse for expenses incurred by the Police Department in 2003 for two
time periods (February 2003 and May 2003) that are eligible for Orange Alert
Overtime reimbursement from DHS.
Because the $144,000 is reimbursement for previous expenditure of City
funds, there is no associated increase to appropriation or expenditure
authority for this amount.

Notes:
·
What is the
financial cost of not implementing the legislation? The costs to the City of not implementing
the legislation include the loss of remaining funding that has been made
available to the City under UASI Grant Programs I and II, and therefore, loss
of funding to improve the City’s overall ability to prevent, respond to, and
recover from threats or acts of terrorism.
In addition, not implementing this legislation would likely result in
the City of Seattle and contiguous jurisdictions being
ineligible to receive additional funding that is expected to be made available
under additional phases of the UASI Grant Program in future years.
·
What are the
possible alternatives to the legislation that could achieve the same or similar
objectives? The only possible
alternative would be to use scarce City resources to provide urban area
security equipment, training and infrastructure protection, and to implement
other elements of the urban area homeland security strategy that was authorized
by Ordinance 121283.
·
Is the
legislation subject to public hearing requirements: No
·
Other Issues: There will be ongoing costs associated with
the maintenance and operation of new computer applications and communication
systems being developed by DoIT for several City departments. Police and Fire will have ongoing maintenance
costs associated with new vehicles purchased with grant funds. City Light will have ongoing costs
associated with the Strategic Advisor III position that will be absorbed in
City Light’s annual operating budget beginning in 2005. Additional ongoing costs for specific City
departments will be identified in the next few months, as departments develop
baseline budgets for the 2005-2006 biennium.
