RECOMMENDATION:

SUMMARY:
Designation of staff positions of the Emergency Services Manager, Emergency Services Planner and Auditor-Controller, as Monterey County representatives is required for participation within the California Office of Emergency Services Fiscal Year 2021 Homeland Security Grant Program.
DISCUSSION:
The Monterey County Office of Emergency Services will have an opportunity to submit an application for the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) to the Federal Emergency Management Agency through the California Office of Emergency Services for the County of Monterey to participate in the 2021 federally funded programs aimed at providing assistance to local government emergency management supporting activities for administrative tasks necessary to maintain the operational area and emergency management responsibilities of a routine nature and specific activities. This resolution will designate the local government staff representatives having the authority to execute documents and coordinate with the California Office of Emergency Services on behalf of Monterey County, regarding the HSGP. The designees will execute assurances, applications, documents, and claims for the purposes of obtaining financial assistance. The federal administrative requirement to designate a staff position by title rather than an individual name will eliminate the need to submit a new Resolution to the Board each time there is a change in personnel.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Office of Emergency Services coordinates applications and reporting efforts for the Homeland Security Grant Program. Auditor-Controller may be required to validate financial documentation, and to receive and distribute funds.
