BOOK 102 PAGE 9J5 ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: The allocation of funds is based on monitoring reports, and on-site inspections of the local emergency management program which is conducted by the Florida Division of Emergency Management. During the last program analysis and evaluation, the County was found to be on schedule with our current Five -Year Strategic Plan. Since staff has estimated the prices for some of the above items, it is requested that the Board authorize staff to adjust the number of items purchased in order to expend the balance of the grant funds, in lieu of returning monies to the State for reallocation. These projects are timely in that they utilize outside funding to complete projects which are recommended by the Florida Division of Emergency Management. No County funds are required to match these grant purchases. RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully recommends approval of the purchase of non -capital and capital equipment to enhance the County's Emergency Management capabilities. It is also recommended that the Board approve staff to make the necessary minor adjustments to expend the balance of the grant funds in lieu of returning them to the State or reallocation to other jurisdictions. In response to Chairman Eggert's inquiry, Emergency Services Director Doug Wright confirmed this was a "use it or lose it" item. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED BY Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously approved the purchase of non -capital and capital equipment to enhance the County's Emergency Management capabilities and authorized staff to make the necessary minor adjustments to expend the balance of the grant funds in lieu of returning them to the State, as recommended in the Memorandum.
