We are dedicated to providing all facets of service to our business community. Both programs have been implemented and are providing the city with response capabilities. Use: One way to enhance both programs would be to receive grant funds for a Thermal Imaging Camera and the associated video monitoring equipment. This equipment would improve both programs, decreasing safety concerns and increasing effectiveness. Benefit: The hazardous materials team will benefit by using this equipment in a variety of ways, such as, identifying liquid levels in tanks and seeing thermal radiation invisible to the eye. In addition, the video monitor can transmit the same image back to the Command Post. The USAR Team is assigned as our Rapid Intervention Crew during structure fires. This equipment will assist in finding lost or trapped fire personnel. Both the USAR Team and the HazMat Team are dedicated to Vernon. As well, each team provides Mutual Aid to the surrounding Cities of Downey, Montebello, Compton and Santa Fe Springs (Area E). All of these cities are part of our mutual aid program. The Vernon Fire Department HAZMAT Team is considered a first response unit for these cities. Funding Although the Vernon Fire Department has an equipment budget, the funds available are being used to maintain suppression equipment and current equipment needs for the Hazmat and USAR teams. Staffing levels also impact the current budget. For these reasons, we are seeking the funds through the Fire Grant Act. Additional Info. : The City of Vernon is located 4 miles South East of the L.A. Civic center. Vernon covers 5.06 square miles and is home to over 1400 businesses. Vernon has -one elementary school and approximately 100 people call Vernon home. Our working day population swells to 45,000, with Farmer John Meat packing being one of the largest employers. The Vernon Fire Department uses 4 stations and 80 uniformed personnel to handle nearly 1800 emergency responses each year. Collectively, the Vernon Fire department is working hard towards minimizing fire loss and continuing to increase the services we provide. This grant will help us achieve these goals. https://portal.fema.gov/firegrant/new/fire/print_app.jsp?print=true&app_number=13942 4/16/2002 r ^rr-- ___ ___ Your consideration is respectfully requested.

The total amount requested is $25,500.00. This has been reviewed by the Fire Chief, and it is hereby recommended that a Resolution be adopted ratifying the submittal of the grant application to FEMA. Very truly yours, �,- 7 Bruce V. Malkenhorst City Administrator/City Clerk BVM/gst Confirmation Page Page 1 of 2 Submit Application Results'-��' Congratulations, you have successfully submitted your application to FEMA. All references to this application should include the following application number: 13942.Please print and keep a copy of your completed application for your records. b What's next ? The application period is open from March 1 through April 1, 2002. Once the application period ends, all applications will be scored according to the priorities established by FEMA for the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program. Once the initial scoring is complete, the applications that are within the competitive range will be sent to panels for evaluation. The evaluation panels will review applications in April and May. The panelists will score the applications according to financial need and cost benefit criteria. Those applications that are recommended for award will then be sent to FEMA for a final review. Grant awards will begin in May and continue until all funds are awarded. Please remember that this is a competitive grant program. Therefore, all applicants may not be awarded a grant. We plan to notify all applicants of the final disposition of their applications by December 31, 2002. If you have submitted an email address to us, your award notification will be sent via email. If you have not submitted an email address to us and obtain an email in the next few months, please call the Helpdesk at 1- 866-274-0960 to have your contact information updated. If we have no email address for you at the time of award, our correspondence will be through regular mail. Grant Requirements Those applicants who are awarded a grant must satisfy both legal and regulatory requirements of the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program. Some of the major requirements are: 1. Grantees must share in the cost of the grant activities. When a fire department submits their program narrative and budget information, the total project cost should include the federal portion and the fire department's match. The required match percentage is based on the population served. The matching requirement for a fire department whose population is less than 50,000 is 10 percent. The matching requirement for a fire department whose population served is 50,000 or more is 30 percent. You should provide adequate information on the source of the matching funds and the match must be a cash match. 2. Grantees must report to an incident reporting system either through their State or at the Federal level through the United States Fire Administration's National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) during the grant period. If you already report to USFA or to the State, that is sufficient. If you do not report to USFA or the State, you must start as soon as possible and report for a period of 12 months. USFA staff can assist you if you are awarded a grant and have questions about NFIRS. 3. Grantees must agree to maintain expenditures at the average of their departments' expenditures in the awarded grant program activity areas from the previous two years. Maintaining operating expenditures refers to the fact that these funds are meant to be a supplement to existing funds not a replacement of funds in the departments' current budgets. Therefore, on top of the federal grant (if selected) and the matching funds, grantees must maintain the average of the last two years' spending levels on items for which the grantees receive a grant during the grant period of performance. For example: Your department wins a grant that includes a Wellness and Fitness Program. You want your firefighters to get the complete physical instead of the rudimentary physical you normally provide. For the year of the grant, you have to pay what you normally would pay for your physicals first. Then, the grant funds can be used to cover the extra. Another example would be that your department received a training grant and your department usually spends $5,000 a year on training. The grant can be used to cover training expenses over that $5,000. 4. Grant recipients must maintain their grant files and supporting documents for three years after the closure of their grant. 5. All grantees must follow the audit requirements of OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Government, and Non -Profit Organizations. The main requirement of this OMB Circular is that grantees who expend $300,000 or more in Federal funds (from all Federal sources) must have a single audit or independent audit performed in accordance with the circular. https://portal.fema.gov/firegrant/new/fire/submitaction.do 4/3/2002 Confirmation Page Page 2 of 2 Letters of Congressional Support Any letters of Congressional support should be forwarded to the following address: Assistance to Firefighters Grants Office "R" Building, NETC 16825 South Seton Avenue Emmitsburg, MD 21727 Questions Any questions should be directed to the Helpdesk, 1-866-274-0960.

Indirect Charges Budget Source Federal Share Applicant Share Total Budget Narratives Please provide your narrative statement in the space provided below: $0 $0 $0 $ 22,950 $ 2,550 $ 25,500 Project The purpose for this grant proposal is to provide Thermal Imaging Technology for the USAR and Hazmat Programs offered by the Vernon Fire Department. We are dedicated to providing all facets of service to our business community. Both programs have been implemented and are providing the city with response capabilities. Use: One way to enhance both programs would be to receive grant funds for a Thermal Imaging Camera and the associated video monitoring equipment. This equipment would improve both programs, decreasing safety concerns and increasing effectiveness. Benefit: The hazardous materials team will benefit by using this equipment in a variety of ways, such as, identifying liquid levels in tanks and seeing thermal radiation invisible to the eye. In addition, the video monitor can transmit the same image back to the Command Post. The USAR Team is assigned as our Rapid Intervention Crew during structure fires. This equipment will assist in finding lost or trapped fire personnel. Both the USAR Team and the Hazmat Team are dedicated to Vernon. As well, each team provides Mutual Aid to the surrounding Cities of Downey, Montebello, Compton and Santa Fe Springs (Area E). All of these cities are part of our mutual aid program. The Vernon Fire Department HAZMAT Team is considered a first response unit for these cities. Funding Although the Vernon Fire Department has an equipment budget, the funds available are being used to maintain suppression equipment and current equipment needs for the Hazmat and USAR teams. Staffing levels also impact the current budget. For these reasons, we are seeking the funds through the Fire Grant Act. Additional Info. : The City of Vernon is located 4 miles South East of the L.A. Civic center. Vernon covers 5.06 square miles and is home to over 1400 businesses. Vernon has one elementary school and approximately 100 people call Vernon home. Our working day population swells to 45,000, with Farmer John Meat packing being one of the largest employers. The Vernon Fire Department uses 4 stations and 80 uniformed personnel to handle nearly 1800 emergency responses each year. Collectively, the Vernon Fire department is working hard towards minimizing fire loss and continuing to increase the services we provide. This grant will help us achieve these goals. Your consideration is respectfully requested.

This also states "in progress" with a date of 3/19. 1 was also in receipt of a copy that the application was submitted successfully. However, to have this ratified we need to have a copy of what was submitted. The current copy in hand shows the submittal date as blank, no federal identifier or applicant identifier, no proposed start or end date of the project, and does not show the congressional district. If these were intentionally left blank that is fine, however the final submitted document is required. The deadline for agend items is 10:00am tomorrow. Regards, Greg Greg S.
