Approve an $8,000 allocation from the County's 2009-10 Board Elective Projects budget to San Bernardino County Fire Protection District (County Fire) to contract (Agreement No. 09- 711) with the City of Grand Terrace Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) for the provision of emergency equipment, medical and safety supplies for their mobile trailer. 2. Authorize the Auditor/Controller-Recorder to increase appropriation and transfers in the 2009- 10 County Fire Administrative Operations budget (SKX 106), as detailed in the Financial Impact Section. (Four votes required) (Affected Districts: Third) (Presenter: Supervisor Neil Derry, Third District, 387-4843) BACKGROUND INFORMATION As part of the 2009-10 budget process, the Board of Supervisors established a budget to finance unbudgeted local needs as identified by the Board throughout the fiscal year. In establishing this budget, the Board required specific approval of projects identified for this funding. One such project identified by the Third District involves an allocation to County Fire for the purpose of contracting with the City of Grand Terrace Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) for the provision of emergency equipment, medical and safety supplies for their mobile trailer. CERT teams utilize mobile trailers to implement their training, and in the case of a disaster, to perform their safety and emergency response functions. CERT members are trained to assist First Responders and assist in neighborhood preparedness. CERT groups often share trailers when there is a lack of resources for training or in case of an emergency. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members are also encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community. CERT teams utilize the mobile trailers as a home base of operations in the event of a disaster. Within the Valley region, one trailer exists to service 5 teams.

The trailer will be utilized by the CERT corps of trained volunteers and emergency response personnel to aid the City of Grand Terrace and surrounding communities in the event of disasters. Providing support for this purpose is reflects a key aspect of the County's Mission Statement that emphasizes providing service that promotes the safety of County residents.
