Dear Sir•

On December 21, 1999 King County was awarded $300,000 00 by the U S Department of
Justice under the State and Local Domestic Preparedness Equipment Support Program Project.
King County Office of Emergency Management (OEM), has been designated Grant Manager
for this project, and has been working closely with the response community to effectively make
use of this resource. The purpose of the grant funding was to purchase and distribute personal
protective, chemical, biological, and radiological detection, and decontamination equipment to
local response agencies This equipment will provide law enforcement, fire and emergency
medical services with the proper equipment to respond to terrorist incidents involving Weapons
of Mass Destruction (WMD) Realistically, successful response to a terrorist incident may
require mutual aid resources from all WMD equipment recipient agencies in King County
This equipment is considered part of the mutual aid resources available under the mutual aid
agreements already in place among law enforcement, fire, EMS, and hazardous materials
service providers.
King County is pleased to distribute the items described in the enclosed list to your Jurisdiction.
The decisions on WMD equipment types and distribution were made by a multi -disciplinary
team composed of representatives of King County's police and fire chiefs associations,
hazardous materials response team providers, emergency medical services (EMS), and the
Seattle Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Population, geography, potential
targets and hazardous materials response capabilities were included in the decision making
process
As a recipient of federal funding, King County made certain assurances to the U S Department
of Justice in the grant application. Some of the assurances must flow down to your jurisdiction
as well Specifically, non-discnmination and lobbying requirements require certifications by
1
sub -recipients of the funding under this grant. The required certifications are enclosed with this
letter (pages 4-5)
The federal funding also places property management responsibility on King County and its
subrecipients. A copy of the minimum requirements for property management is also included
with this letter (Attachment 1)
Finally, King County is acting as a pass through agency for the purchase and distribution of the
equipment purchased with the grant funds. Once the equipment is delivered to your jurisdiction
or agency, it becomes your responsibility for maintenance and storage Although Congress has
appropriated significant funding for this type of equipment, this grant does not mandate that
your jurisdiction, purchase replacement equipment. Enclosed is a document (page 3) that lists
the equipment that will be transferred to your jurisdiction.
Where documents require signatures, (pages 5 and 7), please sign and return to me at King
County OEM, 7300 Perimeter Road South, Seattle, WA 98108-3848 Thank you for your
attention to these details. Please call me at 206-205-8106 if you have questions.
Sincerely,
