TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />THROUGH: Jim Chandler, County Administrator <br />FROM: Doug Wrights Director <br />Emergency Services <br />DATE: August 18, 1993 <br />SUBJECT: Approval of FY 93/94 Radiological Emergency Preparedness <br />Agreement (FP&L Grant) <br />It is respectfully requested that the information contained herein be <br />given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at <br />the next regular scheduled meeting. <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />Each year representatives from the Florida Department of Community <br />Affairs, Florida Power and Light Company, and the Indian River County <br />Department of Emergency Services negotiate the Radiological Emergency <br />Preparedness Agreement (Grant). The Agreement is predicated on <br />responsibilities defined by the United States Nuclear Regulatory <br />Commission in Rule 10 CFR, Part 50 and 70, and NUREG 0654, FEMA -REP - <br />1, Revision 2. <br />During negotiations this year , an agreement was reached wherein <br />Indian River County will receive $65,500.00 in grant funds to enable <br />the County to carry out its responsibilities as provided in the above <br />referenced authorities. This represents an increase of $4,035.00 <br />from the previous year. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />The Agreement provides for the County to participate in the following <br />radiological emergency planning and preparedness activities: <br />1. Recurring maintenance and major revisions to the local <br />radiological emergency plans and implementing procedures; <br />2. Participation in exercises and evaluation of exercises; <br />3. Provides funds for a full time REP Analyst position to <br />maintain plans, calibrate radiological monitoring <br />equipment, develop improved traffic control plans for <br />evacuation, improve procedures for reception and <br />decontamination center, and update shelter surveys required <br />for a host county. <br />4. Provides funds for a part time Administrative Secretary to <br />aid in REP planning and administrative requirements. <br />5. Maintain close liaison with adjacent risk and host counties <br />for the purpose of interfacing emergency plans and <br />activities. <br />This is the third year that FP&L has agreed to fund the salary, <br />benefits, and associated expenses for a REP Analyst to complete <br />requirements of the referenced authorities. The scope of work and <br />additional demands placed on counties by state and federal agencies <br />precluded county staff from completing the tasks on a part time basis <br />as was being done prior. <br />17 <br />LOOK 9101Fr,r C , 65 <br />L_3FP�1993 <br />
