DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: The Indian River County Department of Emergency Services, Division of Emergency Management, recently received the attached FY -94/95 Emergency Management Assistance (EMA) Agreement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through the Florida Department of Community Affairs in the amount of $33,142. The County has successfully participated in the EMA grant program for several years and this year's proposal represents nearly a $1,000 increase over last year. No additional funding is required on the part of the County to execute this agreement. With Board approval, the funds will be utilized to complete the Scope of Work contained in the agreement within the allowed time frames and improve public disaster preparedness presentations. Due to a delay within the Florida Department of Community Affairs, the proposed funding is being received later than usual in terms of the fiscal year. Even though the delay has placed us well into the second quarter, we remain eligible to receive all proposed funding allowable within the agreement on an annualized basis in the current fiscal year. Staff has received a request from the Florida Department of Community Affairs' EMA Program Administrator, Theodore Reith, who recommends that the EMA_ grant funds be kept in a separate fund account for audit purposes, however; he did not note any objection to the matching fund amount being identified in the 208 account. The grant funds are planned for utilization consistent with the prior fiscal year and are as follows: ACCOUNT NO. 011.12 039.02 039.99 039.41 FEBRUARY 14, 1995 ACCOUNT DESCRIPTION AMOUNT Regular Salaries $15,516 All Travel 9,726 Oth Chgs-Obligations 2,500 Office Furniture -Equip 5,400 TOTAL $33,142 Boa 94 pAu 341 11
