Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) EMF-2021-EP-00016-S01 between the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs and Cochise County for reimbursement of emergency management related services, not to exceed $371,969.87, effective July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022.
Background:
The EMPG program supports the goals of building a Culture of Preparedness and readying the public for catastrophic disasters, and supports the County's ARS obligations (26-308-E) by providing cost reimbursement for up to 50% of generally funded county emergency management related expenses and programs.
This grant supports ERE and operating expenses for the Office of Emergency Services. This year's approved allocation reflects a 23% increase over last year which affirms the value of the Cochise County's Emergency Management program and activities, and includes additional funding to continue to offset the cost of countywide radio maintenance. This year the EMPG grant funds awarded to Arizona counties include supplemental funds from the American Rescue Plan Act. There are no additional deliverables associated with these additional funds.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Submit completed documentation to the state for final processing, submit completed programmatic reports quarterly, and submit reimbursement requests quarterly.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If not approved, the county will forgo this revenue. Since the Emergency Management program is fully funded through the County's general fund, the reimbursement from this grant is considered revenue.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Please have the Chair of the BOS sign both copies and return to Judy Lynn in the Office of Emergency Services.
