                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 15, 2009

  Mr. DANIEL E. LUNGREN of California. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the 
Republican Leadership standards on earmarks, I rise today to submit the 
following information regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 
2487--the Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 2010.
  The following earmarks were requested by my office and are listed for 
funding in this bill:
  County of Alpine & County of Calaveras--Law Enforcement Radio and 
Data Communications
  Requesting Member: Daniel E. Lungren 
  Bill Number: H.R. 2487
  Account: COPS Tech
  Requesting Agency: County of Calaveras
  Agency Address: 891 Mountain Ranch Road, San Andreas, CA 95249
  Amount: $1,250,000
  Description: This project creates an interoperable and tactical 
communications backbone between the Counties of Alpine and Calaveras. 
Full build out will also connect Counties as far away as San Francisco 
across the Sierras to the State of Nevada for secondary phone, data and 
radio interoperability and connectivity. The project fixes local radio 
operability and interoperability in the two counties in which the 
Federal Government is the majority land owner.
  This project represents an appropriate use of taxpayer funds due to 
the imperative for interoperability in the provision of emergency 
services and administration of public safety in two counties in which 
the Federal Government is the majority land owner.
  Folsom Emergency Operations Center
  Requesting Member: Daniel E. Lungren 
  Bill Number: H.R. 2487
  Account: OJP-Byrne
  Requesting Agency: City of Folsom
  Agency Address: 50 Natoma Street, Folsom, CA 95630
  Amount: $250,000
  Description: This project will expand the crucial capabilities of the 
Folsom EOC to function for both the City of Folsom and as the 
Alternative County Site. Best practices highlight the importance of 
having redundant emergency management capacity to ensure a balanced 
strategy for handling emergencies.
  This project represents an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because 
it provides a critical capability to both the City of Folsom and 
California's State Capitol, ensuring emergency operations and first 
response measures are coordinated with the greatest ability.
