Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution authorizing the Office of Emergency Services to submit an application in the amount of $214,080 and an application for $63,322 and designating County staff positions to authorize and execute documents and applications for the purpose of obtaining financial assistance with the California Office of Emergency Services Fiscal Year 2021 Emergency Management Performance Grant and the Fiscal Year 2021 Emergency Management Performance Grant - American Rescue Plan for performance period July 1, 2021 - June 30, 2023.
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 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) and Fiscal Year 2021 Emergency Management Performance - American Rescue Plan Act (EMPG-ARPA) grants.
DISCUSSION:
The Monterey County Office of Emergency Services will have an opportunity to submit an application (for each grant EMPG and EMPG-ARPA) 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, in regard to the EMPG programs. 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 Emergency Management Performance Grant program. Auditor-Controller may be required to validate financial documentation, and to receive and distribute funds.
FINANCING:
This resolution has no impact on the FY2021-22 Adopted Budget.
