Backaround
The City of Palm Desert received a grant award in FY 2009, FY 2010, FY 2011, and
FY 2012 to host Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) courses. The funding
source for these courses is the State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP). Staff
was notified that funds from the FY 2013 SHSGP were made available in the amount of
$9,244.
Staff indicated to the Riverside County Operation Area that the City was interested in
utilizing such funding to host one or more CERT classes. The performance period for
the FY 13 grant is through January 30, 2015. Therefore, staff would have to put on one
or more CERT classes within this time frame. Staff recommends adoption of this
resolution authorizing such action to proceed.

Adoption of this resolution permits staff to secure training and equipment cost
reimbursement through the SHSGP, in the amount not to exceed $9,244, to host one or
more Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) courses by 2015. The City
Council is requested to make an initial appropriation of $9,244 from the Unobligated
General Fund; however, staff anticipates that expenditures up to $9,244 will be
reimbursed with grant funding. If the full amount is not utilized, then these funds should
be redistributed back to the General Fund.
