DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Approval Authority, established by the Board to administers the use of Homeland Security Grant funds, has approved the reimbursement of $17,909 to the City of South Lake Tahoe from the 2014 Homeland Security Grant for the purchase and installation of a video surveillance system in the South Lake Tahoe Police Department. The Approval Authority consists of representatives from the City Police, City Fire, Sheriff’s Office, County Fire, Public Health and other eligible governmental agencies. The Approval Authority oversees the administration of these funds for the prevention, response, and recovery from various terrorism/security incidents.
