The EMPG funds are federal funds and continue to require a dollar for dollar non-federal match. To receive the EMPG and the reallocated funds Bay County must provide written acceptance within 45 days of award notification.
Bay County has the resources and personnel to continue the acceptance of the conditioned grant.
Grant funds will be used for certain emergency management related activities in the approved Five Year Strategic Plan submitted by the County and approved by the State. It is recommended that the Board authorize the Chairman to sign an acceptance letter for Emergency Management Performance Grant and reallocated funds.
