SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:

The participating entities are deemed the Fort Lauderdale Urban Area Work Group (UAWG). Subsequently, Broward County, Coral Springs, Sunrise, and Palm Beach County were added to the Urban Area Work Group. In 2011 the Fort Lauderdale UASI was merged with the Miami UASI to create a unified funding recipient with similar critical vulnerabilities.
2. In 2016, the Ft. Lauderdale-Miami UASI was awarded $5,158,500 to implement projects and strategies to enhance the sustainability of critical infrastructures within the participating entities.
The strategies necessarily focus on enhancing detection, prevention, preparedness, response and recovery to all man-made or natural hazards. The City of Pembroke Pines received an allocation of $118,177 as its share of the $5,158,500.
3. As a reimbursement grant, the City of Miami administers all expenditure reimbursements for the Fort Lauderdale Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) member cities (see attachment MOA).
4. The grant project under this proposal, which is a mobile security tower platform, will require $48,187 in matching City funds. The $48,187 has been budgeted for the current fiscal year.
