27. ACCEPT GRANT FUNDS FROM ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY AND MILITARY AFFAIRS Approve and accept grant funds from Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs, Grant No. EMF-2018-EP-00012-S01, CFDA #97.042 in the not to exceed amount of $792,178. These grants are for emergency Planning within Maricopa County. The grant award begins on July 1, 2018 and ends June 30, 2019. Authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant funds, as applicable. The Department will be recovering the allowable 10% de minimus rate based on the total direct charges, which totals $152,324. The grant award is reoccurring and has been awarded to the department for the past thirty (30) plus years. The department has an match requirement of $792,178 during the grant award period, the match for this grant comes from the General Fund (100-D150-1510), Palo Verde (100-D150-1510) and the Intergovernmental Agreements (100-D150-1510-CTIGA). Maricopa County does not have to fund any additional costs for the program. The grant award is a mandated function for emergency preparedness through the Robert T. Safford Act. This grant provides fund for recipients to build prepared emergency programs at the state, local level. This grant award is non-competitively all counties in the state are eligible to apply for funds to support their Emergency Preparedness Programs. The department is allowed to collect 10% Indirect Cost of our total direct charges ($1,523,244) which totals $152,324. In accordance with A.R.S. 42-17106 (B), authorize the following budget adjustment for the FY 2019 Emergency Management (D150) Budget: a) Decrease the revenue and expenditure authority in the Emergency Management’s Fund (215), Operating (OPER) by $46,798 from $987,469 to $940,671. b) Increase the revenue and expenditure authority in Non Departmental (D470) Non Departmental Grants Fund (249) Operating (OPER) Contingency (4711) in the line “Unreserved Contingency” by $46,798. The Decrease is needed because during Fiscal Year 2019 Budget, we experienced various staff (3 FTE’s) vacancies for 6 months. We needed to decrease due to the positions not being filled and payroll not being generated. The grant is intended to support the emergency management program within Maricopa County through our various preparedness programs, exercises, trainings. 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.
