TITLE: Resolution No. 2024-74: Approval of the 2023 Urban Areas Security
Initiative Grant Program Transfer Agreement
The Federal Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) Grant Program dedicates funding
support to select high -threat, high -density urban areas in order to address needs related
to preventing, protecting against, responding to, and recovering from threats or acts of
terrorism. The grant is managed through the City of Santa Ana and the City of Newport
Beach is a sub -recipient. The proposed resolution and grant will provide first responders
with equipment and training to better prepare for a terrorist attack or natural disaster.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
b) Adopt Resolution No. 2024-74, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport
Beach, California, Approving the Agreement for Transfer or Purchase of
Equipment/Services or for Reimbursement of Training Costs for Fiscal Year 2023
Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) between the City of Santa Ana and the City of
Newport Beach; and
c) Authorize the City Manager to sign the attached agreement.
DISCUSSION:
The UASI Grant Program was authorized by Congress in 2003 and then implemented by
the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to help strengthen the nation against risks
associated with potential terrorist attacks. The program dedicates funding support to
select high -threat, high -density urban areas in order to address their unique
multi -discipline planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise needs to
prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from threats or acts of terrorism.

Approval of the 2023 Urban Areas Security Initiative Grant Program Agreement
October 8, 2024
Page 2
In FY 2023, 33 high -threat, high -density urban areas were eligible for funding under the
UASI Grant Program, including the Orange County Metropolitan Area. The City of Santa
Ana applied for, received and accepted a $5,113,750 grant under the program from the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) for use in the County of Orange to provide for terrorism prevention and
enhancement of emergency preparedness. The City of Santa Ana is responsible for the
management and administration of the UASI Grant Program which is overseen by the
California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES).
The urban areas are chosen by DHS based on a formula that takes into account factors
such as critical infrastructure, population density, and credible threat information. Among
other densely populated areas, the City of Santa Ana was selected as the "core city" for
the Orange County Metropolitan Area and is responsible for the management and
administration of the UASI Grant Program.
The program's FY 2023 priorities for Orange County include:
• Strengthen Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive materials
(CBRNE) Detection, Response, and Decontamination Capability
• Enhance Information Collection, Analysis, & Dissemination
• Improve and Expand Critical Infrastructure Protection
• Citizen Preparedness and Participation
• Homeland Security Training Program
The City of Newport Beach is considered an urban area sub -recipient under this grant
program. Once the transfer agreement is approved, the City will be eligible to receive
equipment and training.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adopting the attached resolution is the first step required to apply for funding under the
Santa Ana UASI grant. If the City of Newport Beach is awarded a portion of the Santa
Ana UASI grant, staff will return to the City Council when budget appropriations are
necessary.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of
the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

site and removed at or before the completion of the infrastructure project. Nor does a `Buy
America" preference apply to equipment and furnishings, such as movable chairs, desks,
and portable computer equipment, that are used at or within the finished infrastructure
project but are not an integral part of the structure or permanently affixed to the
