gD <br />CONSENT <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Honorable Board of County Commissioners <br />THROUGH: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />FROM: Tad Stone, Director <br />Department of Emergency Services <br />DATE: July 10, 2019 <br />SUBJECT: Acceptance and Approval of Expenditures for Emergency Management State - <br />Funded Subgrant Agreement (EMPA) Agreement Number A004 <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 />Each year, the Florida Division of Emergency Management, through the executive office of the <br />Governor, administers the Emergency Management Preparedness Assistance Grant (EMPA) <br />Subgrant in support of each Florida county following authorization under Chapter 252, Florida <br />Statutes and State Rule Chapter 27P-19, Florida Administrative Code. The funding for the EMPA <br />is used to enhance and improve emergency management mitigation, planning, response and <br />recovery directly affecting the lives and property of Indian River County residents and visitors. In <br />accordance with the Emergency Management 2018-2021 strategic plan, the items listed below will <br />enhance the ability of Emergency Management to adequately respond to and recover from disaster <br />events and conduct the annual hazardous materials analysis required within the EMPA scope of <br />work and the County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan as approved. <br />FUNDING: <br />This is a dollar for dollar state funded matching subgrant with Florida Division of Emergency <br />Management. The County is authorized to use a broad range of matching funds, to show that it is <br />not supplanting revenues, therefore the Emergency Management budget is used as the match for <br />this grant. No additional funding is required for a match. <br />The term of the agreement is from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. The state recognizes line - <br />item changes may occur after execution of the contract (i.e. due to cost savings or reprioritization <br />by the FDEM), with their written approval. For these reasons, staff requests authorization to make <br />these adjustments rather than return the funding for reallocation to other counties. <br />39 <br />
