Council assigns local SHSP funds to state fusion center to support statewide security programs
Summary
The council approved Resolution CC-2026-20 to accept and assign $1,311,613 (local SHSP share, as recorded in the packet) to the Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security to support the State Fusion Center and Soft Targets & Crowded Places programs; council vote 4–0.
Council considered a resolution authorizing the city to accept and assign its local share of 2025 State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) funds to the Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security to support statewide fusion-center capabilities and soft-target security initiatives. The packet lists the amount as $1,311,613 and staff explained assigning the local share is common practice so the state can pool resources for specialized programs that would otherwise be expensive for individual jurisdictions to run.
Rob Hill (identified by staff as present to answer questions) described the fusion center’s role in providing background and threat information for special events such as homecoming and other large gatherings. Council moved to adopt Resolution CC-2026-20 and approved it by a 4–0 vote. (Note: the meeting transcript contains a later typographical figure that appears to misstate the amount; the packet and staff references list $1,311,613.)
