LOG NAME: 36EMPG2014
SUBJECT:

Performance Grant, and if Awarded, Authorize Execution of a Related Grant Contract with the Texas
Division of Emergency Management in the Estimated Amount of $144,426.00, Authorize Transfer in the

Grants Fund, Authorize Interfund Loan for Fiscal Year 2014 Expenditures, Authorize Transfer of Certain

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the Office of Emergency Management to apply for the Fiscal Year 2014 Emergency
Management Performance Grant from the Texas Division of Emergency Management in the approximate
amount of$144,426.00 to reimburse expenditures from the City's Emergency Management program;
2. If awarded, the grant:
a. Authorize the acceptance and execution of a grant contract with the Texas Division of Emergency
Management in the amount of the award, which is estimated to be approximately in the amount of
$144,426.00;
b. Authorize the transfer of the Office of Emergency Management funds from the General Fund to the
Grants Fund in the amount of $144,426.00 as the City's match for the grant.
3. Authorize a non-interest bearing interfund loan from the General Fund to the Grants Fund in the
approximate amount of $144,426.00 for interim financing to secure continuation of the Emergency
Management program from one grant funding period to the next; and
4. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund in the amount of $288,852.00 from the available funds.
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 in the amount of
$144,426.00 from the Fiscal Year(FY) 2014 EMPG program based upon FY 2003 - FY 2013 awards. In
past years, the State has received additional funds for the EMPG, which it then awarded to cities.
Approval of this Mayor and Council Communication will authorize the Office of Emergency Management to
apply for a FY 2014 EMPG and receive an interfund loan for FY 2014 expenditures until the grant funding

is received. The reason for an interfund loan is due to a delay of award of the grant. 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 approved FY 2014 General Fund budget 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
operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund. Upon execution of the grant contract, the interim
interfund loan will be returned to the General Fund.
