DATE: July 31, 2018
SUBJECT:
Resolution ratifying payments to Embassy Suites for joint Active Shooter Training conference room rentals as part of the Complex Coordinated Terrorist Attack (CCTA) Grant for $29,302.72.
PURPOSE:
Obtaining Committee approval in order to continue joint training to better respond to Active Shooter events in the City.
BACKGROUND:
Another training portion of the CCTA Grant focusing on Active Shooter events and creating a coordinated response among Police and Fire Department personnel. In June of 2018 Embassy Suites hosted the Joint Counter Terrorism Awareness Workshop, as part of the CCTA Grant, for a cost of $23,752.72, and the additional training event in the amount of $5,500 will put the total cost for the year over $25,000. There are no more trainings scheduled at the Embassy Suites at this time.
DISCUSSION:
This training, as part of the CCTA Grant, will be paid for with the money awarded to the City of Aurora, and accepted through Resolution R17-317/File ID 17-00862. Both Police and Fire Department personnel being present at the training will aid in a more coordinated response.
Embassy Suites has hosted trainings previously for the CCTA grant. The payment will come from the Grant funds received by the City of Aurora in account 101-3038-429.50-50.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This ratification needs to be approved so that our first responders receive this additional training in the response to Active Shooter events.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I recommend the cost for training be ratified by the Committee.
