reimburse expenditures from the City's Emergency Management program;

DISCUSSION:
The Texas Division of Emergency Management provides funds to reimburse cities for conducting
Emergency Management Planning and Preparedness activities through the Emergency Management
Performance Grant (EMPG). The City anticipates receiving an award estimated at $144,426.00 from the
Fiscal Year 2012 EMPG program based upon Fiscal Year 2003 - Fiscal Year 2011 awards. In past years,
the State has received additional funds for the EMPG, which it then awarded to cities.
Approval of this M&C will authorize the Office of Emergency Management to apply for a Fiscal Year 2012

EMPG and receive an interfund loan for Fiscal Year 2012 expenditures until the grant funding is
awarded. The reason for an interfund loan is due to a delay of execution of the contract at the State level.
This delay has required the City to absorb grant costs in the General Fund even though they are grant
fund eligible. Additionally, approval will authorize acceptance of the EMPG award and transfer of the City's
match in the amount of $144,426.00 from the General Fund to the Grants Fund.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations,
receipt of the grant and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the
Fiscal Year 2012 capital budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund. Upon execution of the grant
contract, the interim interfund loan will be returned to the General Fund. Funds will be reimbursed by the
grantor after expenditures are made.
