Florida Administrative Code › 27 - EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR › 27P - Division of Emergency Management › Chapter 27P-19 - BASE FUNDING FOR COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCIES, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COMPETITIVE GRANT PROGRAM AND MUNICIPAL COMPETITIVE GRANT PROGRAM RULE › Section 27P-19.011 - Match Requirements

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Base Grants
				shall be matched at an amount either equal to the average of the previous three
				years' level of county general revenue funding of the County Emergency
				Management Agency or the level of funding for the County Emergency Management
				Agency for the last fiscal year, whichever figure is lower. County general
				revenue funding for 911 services, emergency medical services, law enforcement,
				criminal justice, public works or other services outside the emergency
				management responsibilities assigned to the County Emergency Management Agency
				by Section  252.38, F.S., shall not be
				included in determining the "level of county funding of the County Emergency
				Management Agency." Each county shall certify compliance with this rule chapter
				and this rule, as a condition precedent to receipt of funding.
(2) If the Base Grant recipient demonstrates
				that exceptional financial circumstances prevent the Base Grant recipient from
				complying with the match requirements in subsection
				 27P-19.011(1),
				F.A.C., then the Base Grant recipient may request that the Division authorize a
				reduction in the amount of match required. The match required shall not be
				reduced by a percentage amount in excess of reductions in funding for county
				911 services, emergency medical services, law enforcement, criminal justice,
				public works or other emergency management related services. To be eligible for
				any reduction, the Base Grant recipient shall demonstrate and certify that the
				reduction is due to reductions in county general revenue funding and that the
				amount of the requested reduction is equivalent to across the board reductions
				in all county budgets. County requests for reduction shall be signed by the
				county's chief elected officer and the certification of reduction in county
				budget funding shall be signed by the county's chief financial officer.
				Requests shall certify the intent to return to pre-reduced funding as soon as
				practicable, and shall provide an estimate of the date at which the county will
				return to the current level of funding. Requests for reduction shall also be
				accompanied by financial data for the previous three years indicating: the
				level of county funding for the County Emergency Management Agency budget;
				budget detail regarding all individual items of the County Emergency Management
				Agency budget; and the proposed level of funding, for all budget items, if the
				reduction is authorized by the Division. All requests for match reduction shall
				be submitted no later than forty-five (45) days after the county budget has
				been approved by the governing body of the jurisdiction, or the opportunity to
				request shall be waived.
(3)
				Competitive Awards shall not have a minimum match
				requirement.
