This document is a Resolution (No. 2024-198) from the Solano County Board of Supervisors, approving the county's participation in the 2024 Homeland Security Grant Program. The resolution covers the period from September 1, 2024, through May 31, 2027, and involves the Solano County Sheriff's Office receiving $448,956 in federal funds administered through the State of California's Office of Emergency Services. The grant aims to improve prevention and protection capabilities at local, tribal, and territorial levels, focusing on preparing for threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to United States security.

The resolution authorizes the Solano County Director of Administrative Services, County Counsel, or Emergency Services Manager to execute the grant agreement and allows the county to accept and administer the federal financial assistance. The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the resolution, with all five supervisors (Hannigan, Brown, Williams, Vasquez, and Chair Mashburn) voting in favor. A key stipulation is that the grant funds shall not be used to supplant existing Solano County funds appropriated for the same purpose, ensuring the funding supplements rather than replaces existing budget allocations.
