Background Information:
Resolution 2018-26R was approved by the City Council on February 20, 2018, but the Office of the Governor has requested that some specific language be included within the resolution. This resolution amends the previously approved resolution to include that specific language. The additional language is underlined on the attached resolution.
The City of San Marcos is a lead agency in the Capital Area Regional Response Plan providing a CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive) Hazardous Materials response capability and a regional law enforcement component. The city has participated in this regional response concept since 2003.
The City, along with the County, have received numerous grants and equipment disbursements in order to maintain and operate a CBRNE/All Hazards Task Force. This capability allows our organization to increase our state of readiness in responding to CBRNE and other hazardous materials incidents.
The City intends to apply for grants to sustain existing systems and capabilities. These applications of equipment include hazmat monitor maintenance. This resolution authorizes the City Manager to apply for the CBRNE/Hazardous Materials Monitor Maintenance program sustainment grant.
The City intends to utilize this equipment in concert with the existing rules and regulations of the Office of the Governor, State Administrative Agency and other regulatory organizations as presented in the grant guidance and authorizing Grant Award Notice.
