RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the application and
acceptance of Fiscal Year 2016 Homeland Security Grant Program funds from the State of Texas, Office
of the Governor.
DISCUSSION:
On November 8, 2016, the City Council authorized the acceptance of the Fiscal Year 2016 Homeland
Security Grant administered by the State of Texas, Office of the Governor via the approval of Mayor and
Council Communication (M&C G-18875). As a result, the City of Fort Worth (City) was awarded a credit in
the amount of$2,987,850.00 under the Homeland Security Grant Program - Urban Area Security Initiative
(HSGP-UASI) for the procurement of homeland security related equipment and services.
The HSGP-UASI grant was previously administered by the Texas Department of Public Safety and is now
administered by the Office of the Governor, which has added a new requirement. Prior to the funds being
disbursed, the Office of the Governor is requiring the City Council, as the governing body, to formally
adopt a resolution authorizing the same actions approved in (M&C G-18875). Going forward, all Mayor
and Council Communications (M&C's) requesting approval of the application of the HSGP-UASI grant will
have a resolution attached, for so long as such is required by the State.
To satisfy the State requirements, the attached resolution is based on the form provided from the State,
and (i) provides authorization for the submission, and if awarded, acceptance of the 2016 Homeland
Security Grant Program funds from the State of Texas, Office of the Governor; (ii) affirms acceptance and
agreement that in the event of loss or misuse of the Office of the Governor funds, the City Council assures
that such funds will be returned to the Office of the Governor in full; and (iii) designates any Assistant City
Manager as the grantee's authorized official. The authorized official is given the power to apply for,
accept, reject, alter or terminate the grant on behalf of the applicant agency.
This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education:
United States Department of Homeland Security through the State of Texas, Office of the Governor.
The grant has no local match requirement. At the time of application of the grant, the Department did not
include indirect costs in its application. There is, however, a City of Fort Worth (CFW) approved indirect
rate of 14.15 percent based on HUD rate as the Cognizant agency.
