The requirements and procedures for state and local mitigation plans are found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at Title 44, Chapter 1, Part 201 (44 CFR Part 201). Analysis: Financial Impact:Total approved cost is $60,000 with a federal share of $45,000, a state share of $6,000, and a local share (in kind match/personnel time and its funding from fund 101) of $9,000. Fund 220 will be used; org key will be created by Finance upon approval and acceptance of grant. Alternatives:None at this time. Recommendation:Approve the award for the Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Grant from FEMA and GEMA and to authorize the Mayor to execute the appropriate documents.

Its purpose is to provide general guidelines for efficient and timely Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant Program project administration. 1. Project Identification. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has assigned project number PDMC-PL-04-GA-2015-001 to this project. Please reference this number in all correspondence, as doing so will greatly assist us in processing any actions for this project. 2. Documentation - You must keep full documentation to get maximum payment for project related expenditures. Documentation will be required as part of the approved Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant Program project file. Documentation consists of: A. Recipient-Subrecipient Agreement. B. Copies of checks, vouchers or ledger statements. C. Contracts awarded. D. Invoices or other billing documents. E. Progress reports. F. Record of advance or progress payments (where applicable). 3. Funding - Cost sharing has been established at 75% federal, 15% applicant and 10% state. 4. Procurement Standards. You may use your own procurement procedures, which reflect applicable State and local laws and regulations, provided that the procurements conform to applicable Federal laws and standards. Below is a summary of key procurement standards that a subrecipient should incorporate as discussed in 2 CFR Sections 200.318 to 200.326. . A. Conflict of Interest Policy The subrecipient must maintain written standards of conduct covering conflicts of interest and governing the performance of its employees engaged in the selection, award, and administration of contracts as required in 2 CFR Section 200.318. B. Procurement 1) Perform procurement transactions in a manner providing full and open competition PDMC-PL-04-GA-2015-001 4/12/2016 7 2) Contracts and Procurements must be of reasonable cost, generally must be competitively bid, and must comply with Federal, State, and local procurement standards. FEMA finds five methods of procurement acceptable: a) Micro-purchase procedures: an informal method for securing services or supplies that do not cost more than $3,000. Micro-purchases may be awarded without soliciting competitive quotes if the subrecipient considers the price to be reasonable. b) Small purchase procedures: an informal method for securing services or supplies that do not cost more than $100,000 by obtaining several price quotes from different sources c) Sealed bids: a formal method where bids are publicly advertised and solicited, and the contract is awarded to the responsive bidder whose proposal is the lowest in price d) Competitive proposals: a method similar to sealed bid procurement in which contracts are awarded on the basis of contractor qualifications instead of on price e) Non-competitive proposals: a method whereby a proposal is received from only one source, because the item is available only from a single source; there is an emergency requirement that will not permit delay; C. Maintain sufficient records to detail the significant history of procurement. These records will include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following: rationale for the method of procurement, selection of contract type, and contractor selection or rejection. D. Take affirmative steps to assure the use of small and minority firms, women’s business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms when possible. E. Include specific provisions in subrecipients’ contracts to allow changes, remedies, changed conditions, access and records retention, suspension of work and other clauses approved by the Office of Federal Procurement Policy. 5. Payments A. Progress Payments 1) When progress payments are desired, you must submit a written request (on provided form at Exhibit “G”) and provide supporting documentation, such as an invoice and copies of check. 2) The Hazard Mitigation Planner assigned to your county reviews the request and supporting documentation. The Hazard Mitigation Division Director reviews and approves or denies the request. PDMC-PL-04-GA-2015-001 4/12/2016 8 3) If the request is denied, the Hazard Mitigation Division Director will inform you in writing that additional documentation is required to support the request. 4) If the request is approved, the Hazard Mitigation Division Director will authorize payment of the requested amount less final 10%, which will be withheld pending final project completion. 5) Quarterly report submissions must be current in order to receive progress payments. B. Advance Payments. Advance payments will be made on an exception basis only. 6. Subrecipient Performance - The scope of work (see Exhibit F) must be initiated within 90 days of this award notification. A.

Grant Expiration Date A. The grant expiration date runs through June 30, 2018 and has been established based on project milestones in your grant application. The grant expiration date is the time during which the Subrecipient is expected to complete the scope of work. You may not expend FEMA or state funds beyond this date. All costs must be submitted for reimbursement within 60 days of the grant expiration date. B. Requests for time extensions to the Grant Expiration Date will be considered but will not be granted automatically. A written request must be submitted to the Hazard Mitigation Division Director with an explanation of the reason or reasons for the delay. Without justification, the extension request will not be processed. Extensions will not be granted if the sub-recipient has any overdue quarterly progress reports.

(Approved by Finance Committee April 26, 2016) Background:In developing their 2016 budget, the Recreation Department desired to reallocate funds to more closely follow the expenditure plan that was created. However, when the budget was submitted to Finance, only the expenditure reductions were included in the operational cost ($125,000 from 101061122/5311110 Gen. Supplies/Materials). The reallocation of funds was listed in the departmental request as new programs/projects. Due to an oversight, the funds were not included in the adopted budget. Analysis:Due to the size of the Recreation Department budget and relatively small impact to the overall budget (less than 1%), the reallocation of resources between various activities and programs was not noted during the review process. It was not until the user department was notified of the unapproved status of the new project funding that Finance was informed that the changes that Recreation was attempting to accomplish were conditional upon approval of both sections. While this is a small portion of their budget, if left unfunded there will be a noticeable impact to the operational capability and efficiency of the Recreation department.
