Brown, County Administrator <br /> THROUGH: John King, Director <br /> Department of Emergency Services <br /> FROM: Etta LoPresti, Emergency Management Coordinator <br /> Department of Emergency Services <br /> DATE: August 21, 2017 <br /> SUBJECT: Acceptance and Approval of Expenditures for Emergency Management Federally- <br /> Funded Subgrant Agreement (EMPG) 18-FG-XX-10-40-01-XXX <br /> It is respectfully requested that the information contained herein be given formal consideration by <br /> the Board of County Commissioners at the next scheduled meeting. <br /> DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: <br /> The intent of the EMPG Base Grant Agreement is to provide each county with the means to <br /> successfully maintain and operate an Emergency Management Program. Counties must be able to <br /> prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate against natural and man-made disasters/ <br /> emergencies. EMPG Base Grant funding is intended to enhance county emergency management <br /> plans and programs that are consistent with the State Comprehensive Emergency Management <br /> Plan and Program (reference Rule Chapter 27P-6, Florida Administrative Code and Chapter 252, <br /> Florida Statutes). The Scope of Work recognizes that each recipient is at a varying level of <br /> preparedness, and it is understood that each county has a unique geography, faces unique threats <br /> and hazards, and serves a unique population. The Florida Division of Emergency Management <br /> provides funding to Indian River County Emergency Management. The total funding allocated <br /> with this agreement (18-FG-XX-10-40-01-XXX) is $77,858.00. EMPG allowable costs are <br /> divided into the following categories as referenced in the 2016-2019 Emergency Management <br /> Strategic Plan: organizational, planning, training, exercise & equipment. <br /> FUNDING: <br /> This is a 100% funded agreement and no match is required by Indian River County. The term of <br /> the agreement is from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. The state recognizes line-item changes <br /> may occur after execution of the contract(i.e.due to cost savings or reprioritization by the FDEM), <br /> with their written approval. For these reasons, staff requests authorization to make these <br /> adjustments rather than return the funding for reallocation to other counties. <br /> P40 <br />
