The County Attorney's Office has requested that the Board be made aware of the following language in the Agreement:

[Funding: Fund 110, Other Grants and Projects Fund, Cost Center 330409] |
| BACKGROUND: |
As a result of additional language being added to the original agreement by the State of Florida after the Board approved and signed the original version of the Agreement, the original Board action and agreement are being rescinded and the new state REVISED version of the Agreement is being presented to the Board for approval and signature.
Federal funds are provided to assist local governments with the means to successfully manage and operate an Emergency Management Program by enhancing county emergency management plans and programs that are consistent with the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and Program (reference Rule Chapter 27P-6, Florida Administrative Code and Chapter 252, Florida Statutes). These funds require a dollar-for-dollar match that is applied against current Escambia County Division of Emergency Management's budget. This Agreement is providing funds in the amount of $106,011, with a contract period of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. |
| BUDGETARY IMPACT: |
| The grant funds are designed as an operational, planning, training, and exercise cost reimbursement to the Escambia County Division of Emergency Management with a non-federal dollar-for-dollar match requirement. The current General Fund budget identified for the Escambia County Division of Emergency meets the match requirement. No additional matching funds are required to be identified to implement this grant. |

| Kristin Hual, Assistant County Attorney, has reviewed the agreement and approved it as to form and legal sufficiency. |
