Executive Director’s Report<br />

• 2011 UASI Grant Application Update – Mr. Nick Gragnani reported that the FY 2011 grant<br />

application was released and was received by <strong>STARRS</strong> at 9:30 a.m. this date. In addition staff<br />

received notice that the Kansas City Urban Area was cut from the UASI program for FY 2011.<br />

There was a brief discussion on the impact the lack of funding would have on the Kansas City<br />

region. Mr. Gragnani advised that the St. Louis region will receive $5,973,100; with a law<br />

enforcement set aside for terrorism prevention activities totaling $1,630,581. He stated that the<br />

Executive Budget Committee will meet on June 3 at 9:00 a.m. at East-West Gateway.<br />

John Whitaker gave a summary of the submitted project proposals for the FY2011 grant totaling<br />

$13,772,491. He reported that although the deadline has passed for submissions, staff is still<br />

waiting for the EMS committee’s projects proposal.<br />

1


• FY 2012 UASI Grant Application Update – Mr. Nick Gragnani gave a brief summary of what the<br />

U.S. House of Representatives has recommended for FY 2012 funding. Currently, the funding<br />

proposed for 2012 has been reduced from the 2011 amount and has been limited to the ten highest<br />

risk urban areas in the country.<br />

• <strong>STARRS</strong> Committee Update - Hope Woodson, Advisory Council (AC) Co-Chair, provided an<br />

update regarding the AC’s progress in reviewing committee guidelines including voting members,<br />

minutes, meeting sign in sheets, and public notices. She presented a <strong>STARRS</strong> committee meeting<br />

minutes template to facilitate the process of completing minutes and posting them on the website for<br />

public access. Mr. Gragnani added that updated committee lists have been sent to all of the<br />

<strong>STARRS</strong> committee co-chairs for review. Once the changes have been submitted back to<br />

<strong>STARRS</strong>, updated committee lists will be provided to the Advisory Council and to the Board.<br />

Good Friday Tornado Response<br />

• Fire Mutual Aid – Chief Greg Brown, Eureka FPD, gave a report on the recent response to the<br />

Good Friday tornado incident by highlighting the resources and assets funded through <strong>STARRS</strong> and<br />

deployed through the Fire Mutual Aid system. Regional teams initially responded to St. Charles<br />

County but shortly afterwards St. Louis County requested assistance for damage in North St. Louis<br />

County. An eight person incident support team was sent to the County’s EOC to assist with<br />

resource requests which included establishing Emergency Support Function (ESF) 4, 9 and 10. He<br />

advised that the E-Sponder software was activated and an incident report was initiated. Several<br />

incident screens from the E-Sponder software were displayed and explained. He advised that many<br />

agencies such as the St. Louis County Heavy Rescue Team, EMS and several engine company<br />

strike teams were deployed almost immediately to the north county area.<br />

Chief Brown added that Incident Support Teams trained with <strong>STARRS</strong> funding were deployed to<br />

the southeast Missouri region during their flooding event as were swift water rescue teams from the<br />

St. Louis region. Chief Brown referred to the efforts made by Chief Greg Render toward<br />

collaboration between Missouri Fire Mutual Aid and Illinois Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS)<br />

with several Illinois engine companies responding to North St. Louis County.<br />

• St. Louis Medical Operations Center (SMOC) – Mr. Gragnani gave a brief history of MedComm<br />

and the newly created St. Louis Medical Operations Center and introduced Ms. Christine Zirges<br />

with BJC Healthcare who gave an overview of the SMOC activity during the tornado event. Ms.<br />

Zirges summarized the response from the SMOC for both the winter weather event in February as<br />

well as the tornado in April. The SMOC was virtually activated in February for three days using the<br />

full E-Sponder platform. Situational awareness calls were held via conference call twice daily.<br />

With good collaboration from Public Health, the SMOC concept worked well in protecting the<br />

nursing homes.<br />

Joann Leykam inquired if all eight counties were represented in the SMOC. Ms. Zirges responded<br />

that all eight counties and all fifty-five hospitals are represented. She clarified that there are<br />

currently seven duty officers that are representatives of the region’s hospitals and that many more<br />

are being trained. With specific reference to outlying areas in Jefferson and Franklin counties, she<br />

indicated that they are all represented in the SMOC on some level. Mr. Gragnani explained that the<br />

SMOC utilizes both E-Sponder and EMTrack software. Ms. Leykam expressed concern that there<br />

are some areas that are not in close proximity to a large, involved hospital. Ms. Zirges stressed that<br />

the collaboration exists through the region.<br />

Mr. Edward Hillhouse, Executive Director<br />

East-West Gateway Council of Governments<br />

One Memorial Dr., Ste 1600<br />

St. Louis, MO 63102<br />

Dear Mr. Hillhouse:<br />

As you are already aware, the fiscal realities of the 2011 Department of Homeland Security grant allocations<br />

have created considerable challenges to a unified and seamless strategy in homeland security for our state. In<br />

an effort to advance a “whole community” strategy for homeland security, the Missouri Department of Public<br />

Safety, Office of Homeland Security (OHS) is making a formal request to withhold the State Homeland Security<br />

Grant Program (SHSGP) Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Activities (LETPA) set aside, a total of<br />

$1,630,581, for allocations to be made by the State on behalf of the St. Louis Urban Area Security Initiative<br />

(UASI). The State would combine all LETPA allocations, to include state, local, and UASI share, into one<br />

funding mechanism for law enforcement statewide.<br />

We understand that this may occur only with the written consent of the Urban Area jurisdiction, with the written<br />

consent specifying the amount of funds ($1,630,581) to be retained and the intended use of funds. Our proposal<br />

is as follows:<br />

Fiscal Year (FY) 11 Allocations:<br />

FY 11 Distributions:<br />

FY 11 State Allocation $1,871,985<br />

FY 11 UASI Allocation $1,630,581<br />

FY 11 Total allocation $3,502,566<br />

St. Louis UASI $1.167,522<br />

Regional Homeland Security<br />

Oversight Committee (RHSOC), $1.167,522<br />

Urban Region A<br />

State/Rural RHSOC $1.167,522<br />

Total distribution $3,502,566<br />

The state would establish three (3) LETPA sub-committees, who would make funding recommendations to<br />

support law enforcement terrorism prevention program activity in their respective jurisdictions. Minimal<br />

“earmark” amounts to insure support of overarching statewide initiatives such as intelligence fusion centers,<br />

interoperable communications, and the Center for Education Safety, would be required for each of the St. Louis,<br />

Kansas, and State/Rural RHSOC Regions.<br />

As the state experiences threats of terrorist attacks (foreign and domestic) and natural disasters, communities<br />

are challenged to develop collective, local abilities to withstand the potential impacts of these events, respond<br />

quickly, and recover in a way that sustains or improves the community‘s overall well-being. Achieving this<br />

collective capacity calls for innovative approaches across the community, including emergency management to<br />

build up existing practices, institutions, and organizations that help make local communities successful, and that<br />

can leverage this infrastructure if and when an incident occurs.


Consolidating the LETPA allocations enhances everyone’s capacity to detect and mitigate the threat posed by<br />

those who seek to carry out violent attacks against the people, government or critical infrastructure of Missouri.<br />

In particular, the threat posed by homegrown terrorism is real and not limited to a single ideology. Foreign<br />

terrorist groups affiliated with al-Qaida, and individual terrorist thought leaders, are actively seeking to recruit or<br />

inspire Westerners to carry out attacks against western and United States targets. Missouri must remain vigilant<br />

against homegrown and foreign terrorist threats.<br />

It should be noted that OHS has used state and local (rural) funds to support many initiatives within both the<br />

Kansas City and St. Louis UASIs:<br />

MoDEX – 32 police/sheriff agencies (all within St. Louis UASI), $699,375 for interfaces and continued<br />

maintenance cost of $72,500 per year.<br />

LiveScan – 27 police/sheriff agencies (all within St. Louis UASI), $945,000<br />

Motorola switches - $1,000,000 to each UASI.<br />

HSRT (HSRRS) - $2,069,186.92 since CY 2007 to St. Louis UASI area<br />

OHS intends to expend the LETPA funds for the following purposes:<br />

As maturation of the state network of fusion centers is one of the priorities of OHS it is paramount to<br />

provide funding for the Terrorism Early Warning Groups (TEWG) and the State’s fusion center. As you have<br />

heard by now the Kansas City UASI has fell outside of 31 funded UASI’s. Yet, their TEWG is still a very viable<br />

asset to Missouri for intelligence and information sharing. We purpose the UASI, Urban A and State/Rural make<br />

available funds from the distribution table to support their fusion centers/TEWGs.<br />

Law Enforcement Investigation and Operations in support of preparing for, preventing, responding and<br />

recovering from a terrorist attack is another priority for OHS. Terrorism investigation includes the broad range of<br />

activities undertaken by law enforcement to examine, probe and investigate potential terrorist activities.<br />

Intervention activities are those actions, programs, and efforts designed and carried out by law enforcement to<br />

interdict terrorists before they can execute an attack against Missouri citizens, critical infrastructure, and/or other<br />

states. The capability to examine, probe, investigate and reduce the impact and consequences of an incident or<br />

major event by securing the affected area in coordination with law enforcement disciplines would be the focus of<br />

the remaining funds.<br />

table.<br />

Expenditures of LEPTA funds will be decided by each respective entity as indicated in the distribution<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Paul H. Fennewald<br />

Homeland Security Coordinator

The <strong>STARRS</strong> Executive Budget Committee met on June 3, 2011 to determine<br />

the recommended projects and amounts for the FY 2011 UASI Grant. This<br />

memo presents their recommendations.<br />

The UASI FY 2011 Application Guidance set an award amount of $5,973,100 for<br />

the St. Louis Urban Area based on the region's risk. Barring any unexpected<br />

problems with the quality of our grant application, we anticipate receiving this<br />

same amount later this year. The 2011 UASI grant application must be filed with<br />

the Department of Homeland Security by 10:59 PM on Monday, June 20, 2011.<br />

After accounting for Management and Administration costs of 5% for both the<br />

State Office of Homeland Security and East-West Gateway, the FY11 grant can<br />

not exceed $5,375,790 in proposed projects. Additionally, the grant guidance<br />

required a set aside for law enforcement terrorism prevention-oriented activities<br />

of $1,630,581. The Committee’s recommendations meet these set asides.<br />

To assist the Committee in reviewing the 61 projects totaling $12,575,749, Staff<br />

prepared an Investment Justification Summary Sheet for each committee that<br />

included the investment purpose, a description of what each project within the<br />

investment would entail, the estimated cost, and the Urban Area Strategies<br />

addressed. In addition, Committee members received a spreadsheet listing the<br />

projects with their costs as well as whether the projects were new or ongoing,<br />

whether they represented sustainment or enhancements of capabilities, and<br />

amounts assigned to the projects in previous years.<br />

Attached is a summary of the Committee’s recommendations for your review and<br />

approval.<br />
