36. GRANT FUNDS FROM ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY AND MILITARY AFFAIRS AND BUDGET ADJUSTMENT Approve and accept grant funds for Fiscal Year 2017 from Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs, (CFDA# 97.042), not-to-exceed amount of $809,810 for the purpose of emergency planning within Maricopa County. The grant award begins on July 1, 2016 and ends on June 30, 2017. The Department of Emergency Management's composite indirect rate is 13.1% and estimated indirect cost recovery is $93,797.62. Additionally, in accordance with A.R.S. §42-17106(B), authorize the following amendment to the FY 2017 Emergency Management (150) Budget: a) Increase the expenditure authority in the Emergency Management (215) Fund, Operating (0000), by $77,144.63 from $951,853 to $1,028,997.63. b) Increase revenue in the Emergency Management (215) Fund, Operating (0000), by $77,144.63 from $951,853 to $1,028,997.63. This increase is needed because the Fiscal Year 2017 budget was developed with only the grant application amount of $732,665.37 included within the revenue and expenditure totals. The actual awarded amount is $809,810 which adds an additional $77,144.63 to the Fiscal Year 2017 revenue and expenditure amounts. The Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program provides federal funds to assist state, local, tribal and territorial governments in preparing for all hazards, as authorized by Section 662 of the Post Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (6 U.S.C. § 762) and the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. §§ 5121 et seq.). Title VI of the Stafford Act authorizes FEMA to make grants for the purpose of providing a system of emergency preparedness for the protection of life and property in the United States from hazards and to vest responsibility for emergency preparedness jointly in the federal government and the states and their political subdivisions.
