Subj: Request for Time Extension
PDMC-PL-09-AZ-2013-002/EMF-2014-PC-0003 (0)
Dear Mr. Lusk:
Maricopa County has requested from the State an extension to their Period Of Performance,
currently scheduled to end 04/28/2016. Their grant was awarded for the purpose of updating
their County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan.
While the writing of the plan is tentatively complete, they are still in the process of obtaining
signatures of adoption of the plan by various jurisdictions. The State has recently determined
that the "project" of the grant is not completed until the plan has been adopted by all
jurisdictions and the signatures have been obtained, in the event that the plan requires any
additional amendments by the jurisdictions who have yet to sign.
Neither Maricopa County, nor the State, anticipate any significant delays. However, due to
arranging the various local legislative bodies' schedules, and arranging for adoption and
signing of the plan, Maricopa County is requesting a year extension to complete the project and
complete adoption of the plan with all involved jurisdictions. The State concurs with this
request and is now formally requesting, from FEMA, a year extension to the POP for this grant
(requested POP end date 04/28/17).
If you have any questions regarding this award, please e-mail me at Tom.Jones@azdema.gov or
contact me directly at (602) 464-6349.
Sincerely,
Thomas "Duke" Jones
State Hazard Mitigation Officer
