Legislation Title: An Ordinance relating to security from terrorism; reducing appropriations in the 2005 Budgets of the Police Department, City Light, the Department of Planning and Development, Seattle Public Utilities, the Department of Information Technology, and the Seattle Department of Transportation; and reappropriating that money to the Fleets & Facilities Department, Seattle Center, and the Fire Department.

· Summary of the Legislation: In accordance with federal grant guidelines, this legislation authorizes the reallocation of Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) federal grant funds, and creates new projects with resources from previously approved, completed, projects that have under spent their budgets.  UASI Grant Program I has a term date of November 30, 2005 and UASI Grant Program II has a term date of December 31, 2005.  Funds are being reprogrammed to various City departments to ensure that all federal grant funds are expended in accordance with the City’s homeland security strategy before the term date for these grants.  The additional projects that have been identified support the City’s ongoing approach to preventing the threat of terrorism by recognizing the need for prevention, protection, and response capability.

· Background: Ordinance 121283, passed by the City Council on September 22, 2003, and Ordinance 121418, passed by the City Council on March 15, 2004, appropriated funds from UASI Grants I and II to Police, Fire, Public Utilities, the Department of Transportation, City Light, the Department of Information Technology, the Department of Planning & Development, and the Fleets & Facilities Department.

UASI Grants I and II were awarded to the City from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to conduct vulnerability assessments, develop a homeland security strategy that is specific to the needs of the City, and address the City’s specific equipment, training, planning and exercise needs.  The purpose of UASI grants nationwide is to assist large urban areas in building an enhanced and sustainable capacity to prevent, respond to, and recover from threats or acts of terrorism.

This is the fifth ordinance SPD has asked the City Council to adopt for the application, receipt, and management of funds from DHS for furthering the City’s strategy for preparedness. 

As noted above, Ordinance 121283 and 121418 authorized the Police Department to apply for funding from UASI Grants I and II.  Ordinance 121515, passed by the City Council on January 28, 2004, authorized the Police Department to apply for additional funding under UASI ‘04, and Ordinance 121860, passed by the City Council on July 11, 2005, authorized the Police department to apply for funding under UASI ’05.

Notes:

· What is the financial cost of not implementing the legislation?

The term dates for UASI Grants I and II are November 30, 2005 and December 31, 2005, respectively.  Many of projects identified as priorities under both grants have been completed.  Implementing this legislation will allow funds to be reallocated so that additional projects under the City’s homeland security strategy can be implemented, and all available funding under these grants can be utilized.  The costs to the City of not implementing the legislation include the potential loss of funding to implement $258,645 in additional projects, if funds are not fully expended before the grant term dates, and the grants are not extended.

· 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.
