ATTACHMENT B MINUTES Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations Council Chamber--City Hall February 24, 2004 9 a.m. PRESENT: Gary Pap6, Chair; Bonny Bettman, Betty Taylor, members; Mary Walston, Lisa Klemp, Kelly Brooks, City Manager's Office; Larry Hill, Sue Cutsogeorge, Patty Boyle, Chuck Solin, Central Services Department; Peter Ruffler, Eric Jones, Public Works Department; Jerome Lidz, City Attorney's Office. 1. Call to Order and Review Agenda Mr. Pap6 called the meeting of the Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations (CCIGR) to order. 2. Approval of Minutes Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to approve the minutes of the CCIGR meeting of February 11, 2005. The motion passed unani- mously. The CCIGR scheduled its next meeting on March 9, 2005, at 1:30 p.m. 3. Grant Proposal Review Mr. Solin presented the grant proposal to the committee, explaining that the Fiscal Year 2005 Office of Domestic Preparedness Homeland Security Grant Program was accepting applications for funding but only from counties. He was working with Lane County to package a grant request for interoperable communica- tions training and some police equipment. He said he would not know until the "eleventh hour" what the grant request would ultimately look like. He assured members that he would provide the CCIGR with details when they were available, and no contracts would be entered into until that review occurred. Responding to a question from Ms. Bettman, Mr. Solin said that when the County received the money it would have to allocate it for the use granted. The County would be the sub-grantee, but the money would come directly to the City from the State Police. Ms. Bettman asked if the City focused on equipment acquisition or on enhancing programs already in place so that the grant would not trigger additional costs on the part of the City. Mr. Solin said for the most part, yes. Eugene was recently selected as a location for a regional urban search and rescue team, and that would require new equipment and training requirements. He noted that backfill positions and overtime were eligible costs under the grant, and those costs had been included in the grant as well. Mr. Pap6 confirmed with Mr. Solin that the City was negotiating its share of the grant with the County and other Lane County jurisdictions participating in the grant submittal to reach an equitable proposal.
