RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Supplemental Budget Amendment #002 - Amy Lovoy, Management and Budget Services Department Director

That the Board adopt the Resolution approving Supplemental Budget Amendment #002, Other Grants and Projects Fund (110) in the amount of $150,000 and General Fund (001) in the amount of $3,750, to recognize the 2013 Residential Construction Mitigation Program (RCMP) Residential Retrofit Grant, as awarded to Escambia County by the Florida Department of Emergency Management (FDEM) for implementation by Rebuild Northwest Florida, Inc. (Rebuild), and to appropriate these funds for the 2013 RCMP Grant.

BACKGROUND:

The Florida Department of Emergency Management (FDEM) awarded a $150,000 Residential Construction Mitigation Program (RCMP) Retrofit Grant to Escambia County, based on an application filed by Rebuild Northwest Florida, Inc. (Rebuild) with FDEM earlier this year. The FDEM grant must be awarded to the County per governing regulations and cannot be directly contracted to Rebuild by FDEM due to funding limitations. The funds are critical in providing mitigation (house hardening) assistance for lower income homeowners in Escambia County who cannot afford to provide the 25% cash matching required for participation in the FEMA funded mitigation program operated by Rebuild. There is a waiting list of applicants for the mitigation program that can be served through this funding.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

This amendment will increase Fund 110 (2013 RCMP Grant) by $150,000 and Fund 001 by $3,750.
