Approval of this M&C will authorize the Office of Emergency Management to apply far a Fiscal Year 2049
EMPG and receive an interfund loan for Fiscal Year 2009 expenditures until the grant funding is
awarded. The reason far an interfund loan is due to a delay of execution of the contract at the State. This
delay has required the City to absorb grant costs in the General Fund even though they are grant fund
eligibEe. Additionally, approval will authorize acceptance of the EMPG award and transfer of the City's
match in the amount of $144,004.00 from the Genera! Fund to the Grants Fund.
