9. RECORDS
A. As a condition of receiving state financial assistance, and as required bysections
20.055(6)(c) and 215.97(5)(b), Florida Statutes, the Chief Inspector General of the State of Florida, the
Division, the Department of Financial Services, the Florida Auditor General, or any of their authorized
representatives, shall enjoy the right of access to any documents, financial statements, papers, or other
4
records of the Recipient which are pertinent to this Agreement, in order to make audits, examinations,
excerpts, and transcripts. The right of access also includes timely and reasonable access to the
Recipient's personnel for the purpose of interview and discussion related to such documents. For the
purposes of this section, the term "Recipient" includes employees or agents, including all subcontractors
or consultants to be paid from funds provided under this Agreement.
B. The Recipient shall maintain all records related to this Agreement for the period
of time specified in the appropriate retention schedule published by the Florida Department of State.
Information regarding retention schedules can be obtained at: http://dos.myflorida.com/library-
arch ives/ records- management/general- records - schedu les /
C. Florida's Government in the Sunshine Law (Section 286.011, Florida Statutes)
provides the citizens of Florida with a right of access to governmental proceedings and mandates three,
basic requirements: (1) meetings of public boards or commissions must be open to the public; (2)
reasonable notice of such meetings must be given; and, (3) minutes of the meetings must be taken and
promptly recorded. The mere receipt of public funds by a private entity, standing alone, is insufficient to
bring that entity within the ambit of the open government requirements. However, the Government in the
Sunshine Law applies to private entities that provide services to governmental agencies and that act on
behalf of those agencies in the agencies' performance of their public duties. If a public agency delegates
the performance of its public purpose to a private entity, then, to the extent that private entity is
performing that public purpose, the Government in the Sunshine Law applies. For example, if a volunteer
fire department provides firefighting services to a governmental entity and uses facilities and equipment
purchased with public funds, then the Government in the Sunshine Law applies to board of directors for
that volunteer fire department. Thus, to the extent that the Government in the Sunshine Law applies to
the Recipient based upon the funds provided under this Agreement, the meetings of the Recipient's
governing board or the meetings of any subcommittee making recommendations to the governing board
may be subject to open government requirements. These meetings shall be publicly noticed, open to the
public, and the minutes of all the meetings shall be public records, available to the public in accordance
with Chapter 119, Florida Statutes.
D. Florida's Public Records Law provides a right of access to the records of the
state and local governments as well as to private entities acting on their behalf. Unless specifically
exempted from disclosure by the Legislature, all materials made or received by a governmental agency
(or a private entity acting on behalf of such an agency) in conjunction with official business which are
used to perpetuate, communicate, or formalize knowledge qualify as public records subject to public
inspection. The mere receipt of public funds by a private entity, standing alone, is insufficient to bring that
entity within the ambit of the public record requirements. However, when a public entity delegates a
public function to a private entity, the records generated by the private entity's performance of that duty
become public records. Thus, the nature and scope of the services provided by a private entity determine
5
• Y
whether that entity is acting on behalf of a public agency and is therefore subject to the requirements of
Florida's Public Records Law.
E. The Recipient shall maintain all records for the Recipient and for all
subcontractors or consultants to be paid from funds provided under this Agreement, including
documentation of all program costs, in a form sufficient to determine compliance with the requirements
and objectives of the Program Budget and Scope of Work - Attachment A and B - and all other applicable
laws and regulations.
10. AUDITS
A. As required by Rule 271 19.010(5), Florida Administrative Code, "All recipientsof
trust funds shall cause a financial audit to be performed in accordance with [the Florida Single Audit Act,
section 215.97, Florida Statutes]. A report of the audit will be forwarded to the Division within 60 days of
its completion."
B. In accounting for the receipt and expenditure of funds under this Agreement, the
Recipient shall follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ( "GAAP "). As defined by Rule
10.554(1)(g) of the Rules of the Auditor General, GAAP are "those accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, as defined by the GASB Codification of Governmental
Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards, Section 1000 The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles." As defined by 2 C.F.R. §200.49, GAAP "has the meaning specified in accounting
standards issued by the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB)."
C. When conducting an audit of the Recipient's performance under thisAgreement,
the Division shall use Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards ( "GAGAS "). As defined by
Rule 10.554(1)(h) of the Rules of the Auditor General, GAGAS are "those audit standards set forth in the
publication Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States." As
defined by 2 C.F.R. §200.50, GAGAS, "also known as the Yellow Book, means generally accepted
government auditing standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, which are
applicable to financial audits."
D. As defined by section 215.97(2)(a), Florida Statutes, the term "audit threshold"
means "the threshold amount used to determine when a state single audit or project- specific audit of a
nonstate entity shall be conducted in accordance with" the Florida Single Audit Act. The current audit
threshold is $750,000.
E. As required by sections 215.97(2)(a) and 215.97(8)(a), Florida Statutes, "[e]ach
nonstate entity that expends a total amount of state financial assistance equal to or in excess of $750,000
in any fiscal year of such nonstate entity shall be required to have a state single audit, or a project -
specific audit, for such fiscal year in accordance with" the requirements of the Florida Single Audit Act and
in accordance with "additional requirements established in rules of the Department of Financial Services
and rules of the Auditor General." In determining the State financial assistance expended in its fiscal
L
year, the Recipient shall include all sources of State financial assistance, including State funds received
from the Division, other state agencies, and other nonstate entities. State financial assistance does not
include Federal direct or pass- through awards and resources received by a nonstate entity for Federal
program matching requirements.
F. In accordance with section 215.97(8)(f), Florida Statutes, the Recipient shall
have all audits completed by an independent auditor, which is defined in section 215.97(2)(i), Florida
Statutes, as "an independent certified public accountant licensed under chapter 473." The independent
auditor shall state that the audit complied with the applicable provisions noted above. The audit must be
received by the Division no later than nine months from the end of the Recipient's fiscal year.
G. If an audit shows that all or any portion of the funds disbursed were not spent in
accordance with the conditions of this Agreement, then the Recipient shall be held liable for
reimbursement to the Division of all funds not spent in accordance with these applicable regulations and
Agreement provisions within thirty days after the Division has notified the Recipient of such non-
compliance.
H. If the Recipient expends less than $750,000 in State financial assistance in its
fiscal year, an audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 215.97, Florida Statutes, is
not required. In the event that the Recipient expends less than $750,000 in state financial assistance in
its fiscal year and elects to have an audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 215.97,
Florida Statutes, the cost of the audit must be paid from the nonstate entity's resources (i.e., the cost of
such an audit must be paid from the Recipient's resources obtained from other than Stateentities).
I. As required by section 215.97(5)(d), Florida Statutes, the Recipient shall provide
the Division with "one copy of each financial reporting package prepared in accordance with" the
requirements of the Florida Single Audit Act.
J. As defined by section 215.97(2)(e), Florida Statutes, the term "financial reporting
package" means the Recipient's "financial statements, Schedule of Expenditures of State Financial
Assistance, auditor's reports, management letter, auditee's written responses or corrective action plan,
correspondence on followup of prior years' corrective actions taken, and such other information
determined by the Auditor General to be necessary and consistent with the purposes" of the Florida
Single Audit Act.

ATTACHMENT B
ALLOWABLE COSTS AND ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES
2 CFR Part 200:
Rule 27P- 19.010(11), Florida Administrative Code, states: "Allowable costs shall be determined in
accordance with applicable Federal Office of Management and Budget Circulars..." Therefore, 2 CFR
Part 200 ( "Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal
Awards ") shall apply to this Agreement.
Expenses:
In order to qualify for reimbursement under the terms of this Agreement, an expense incurred by the
Recipient must be reasonable and necessary for the successful completion of a task required by this
Agreement. If an expense fails to qualify as either reasonable or necessary to successfully compete a
task, then the Division shall not provide any reimbursement for that expense.
NOTE: This Scope of Work recognizes that each Recipient:
• Might be at a different level of preparedness than another Recipient;
• Operates within a unique geography;
• Faces unique threats and hazards; and,
• Serves a unique population.
Therefore, what might qualify as reasonable and necessary for one Recipient to successfully complete a
task under this Agreement might not qualify as reasonable and necessary for another Recipient to
successfully complete a task. Conversely, what might not qualify for one may qualify for another.
In order to avoid a "one size fits all" approach, this Agreement provides some level of flexibility. If a
unique cost (e.g. equipment not listed on the EMPG AEL) qualifies as reasonable and necessary for the
successful completion of a task under this Agreement, and if the Recipient receives permission from the
Division prior to incurring that unique cost, then the Division shall reimburse the Recipient for that cost.
Performance:
In order to qualify for reimbursement under the terms of this Agreement, the Recipient's performance
must satisfy the minimum level of service required for the successful completion of a task required by this
Agreement. If the performance fails to satisfy the minimum level of service, then the Division shall not
provide any reimbursement for that performance.
Equipment:
Provided the cost of the item qualifies as reasonable and necessary for the successful completion of a
task required by this Agreement, an item on the FEMA AEL that is specifically coded for the Emergency
Management Performance Grant ( "EMPG ") Program satisfies the minimum level of service for an
equipment purchase under this Agreement. If an item qualifies as reasonable and necessary, and if the
item is EMPG -coded on the FEMA AEL, then the Recipient does not need to obtain permission from the
Division prior to purchasing the item in order to seek reimbursement.
If the Recipient seeks reimbursement for the purchase of an item that is not EMPG -coded on the FEMA
AEL, then the Recipient must receive permission from the Division prior to purchasing the item. If the
Recipient purchases such an item without receiving permission from the Division beforehand, then the
Division shall not provide any reimbursement for that purchase.
Of note, AEL 21GN- 00 -OCEQ (Equipment and Supplies, Information /Emergency Operations /Fusion
Centers) provides authorization for the purchase of equipment and supplies that are necessary to
establish and maintain an Emergency Operations Center.
Allowable equipment includes equipment from the following AEL categories:
25
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (Category 1)
• Information Technology (Category 4)
• Cybersecurity Enhancement Equipment (Category 5)
• Interoperable Communications Equipment (Category 6)
• Detection Equipment (Category 7)
• Power Equipment (Category 10)
• Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) Reference Materials
(Category 11)
• CBRNE Incident Response Vehicles (Category 12)
• Physical Security Enhancement Equipment (Category 14)
• CBRNE Logistical Support Equipment (Category 19)
• Other Authorized Equipment (Category 21)
If Recipients have questions concerning the eligibility of equipment, they shall contact their Grant
Manager for clarification.
Recipients shall analyze the cost benefits of purchasing versus leasing equipment, especially high cost
items and those subject to rapid technical advances.
For more information regarding property management standards for equipment, please reference 2
C.F.R. Part 200, including 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.310, 200.313, and 200.316.
If the recipient seeks reimbursement for equipment activities, then the following shall be submitted:
All invoices;
• The AEL # for each purchase;
• Proof of payment (e.g. canceled check, electronic funds transfer, credit card statementand
payment to credit card company for that statement); and,
• Proof of purchase methodology (e.g. sole source, state contract, competitive bid results).
Training and Exercises Generally:
The Multiyear Training and Exercise Plan ( "MYTEP ") serves as a roadmap by which an organization
establishes the priorities necessary to develop and maintain the capabilities required to facilitate effective
response to all hazards faced by that organization. A successful MYTEP:
• Identifies an organization's top priorities for improving its preparedness and response
capabilities; and,
• Defines the cycle of training and exercise activities that shall provide the most benefit in the
development, refinement and maintenance of those capabilities.
Provided the cost qualifies as reasonable and necessary for the successful completion of a task required
by this Agreement, and provided the Division has approved the Recipient's MYTEP, any training or
exercise on the Recipient's MYTEP satisfies the minimum level of service for this Agreement. If the
training or exercise qualifies as reasonable and necessary, and if the training or exercise is included on
the Recipient's Division - approved MYTEP, then the Recipient does not need to obtain permission from
the Division prior to conducting, participating in, or attending that training or exercise.
If the Recipient seeks to conduct, participate in, or attend a training or exercise that is not listed on the
Recipient's Division - approved MYTEP, then the Recipient must receive permission from the Division prior
to conducting, participating in, or attending that training or exercise. If the Recipient conducts,
participates in, or attends a training or exercise that is not listed on the Recipient's Division - approved
MYTEP without receiving permission from the Division beforehand, then the Division shall not provide any
reimbursement for that training or exercise.
Any request to conduct, participate in, or attend a training or exercise that is not listed on the Recipient's
Division - approved MYTEP shall include an updated MYTEP that specifically includes the requested
26
training or exercise. If the request to conduct, participate in, or attend a training or exercise that is not
listed on the Recipient's Division - approved MYTEP does not include an updated MYTEP, then the
Division shall deny the request.
Training:
The Recipient can successfully complete an authorized course either by attending or by conducting that
course.
• In order to receive payment for successfully attending an authorized training course, the
Recipient must provide the Division with a certificate of course completion; additionally, the
Recipient must provide the Division with all receipts that document the costs incurred by the
Recipient in order to attend the course.
• In order to receive payment for successfully conducting an authorized course, the Recipient must
provide the Division with the course materials and a roster sign -in sheet; additionally, the
Recipient must provide the Division with all receipts that document the costs incurred by the

emphasizes engagement at the community level, strengthens best practices, and provides a path toward
building sustainable resilience.
Allowable training - related costs include the following:
• Funds Used to Develop, Deliver, and Evaluate Training. This includes costs related to
administering the training: planning, scheduling, facilities, materials and supplies, reproduction of
materials, and equipment. Training shall provide the opportunity to demonstrate and validate
skills learned, as well as to identify any gaps in these skills. Any training or training gaps,
including those for children and individuals with disabilities or access and functional needs, shall
be identified in the Multi -year TEP and addressed in the training cycle. States are encouraged to
use existing training rather than developing new courses. When developing new courses states
are encouraged to apply the Analysis Design Development and Implementation Evaluation
(ADDIE) model for instruction design.
• Overtime and Backfill. The entire amount of overtime costs, including payments related to
backfilling personnel, which are the direct result of attendance at approved training courses and
programs are allowable. These costs are allowed only to the extent the payment for such services
is in accordance with the policies of the state or unit(s) of local government and has the approval
of the state. In no case is dual compensation allowable. That is, an employee of a unit of
government may not receive compensation from their unit or agency of government AND from an
award for a single period of time (e.g., 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.), even though such work may
benefit both activities.
• Travel. Travel costs (e.g., airfare, mileage, per diem,and hotel) are allowable as expenses by

27
• Certification /Recertification of Instructors. Costs associated with the certification and re-
certification of instructors are allowed. States are encouraged to follow the FEMA Instructor
Quality Assurance Program to ensure a minimum level of competency and corresponding levels
of evaluation of student learning. This is particularly important for those courses involving the
training of trainers.
For training, the number of participants must be a minimum of 15 in order to justify the cost of holding a
course. For questions regarding adequate number of participants please contact the FDEM State
Training Officer for course specific guidance. Unless the recipient receives advance written approval from
the State Training Officer for the number of participants, then the Division shall reduce the amount
authorized for reimbursement on a pro -rata basis for any training with less than 15 participants.
If the recipient seeks reimbursement for training activities, then the following shall be submitted:
• Approval of emergency management training that has been identified on the current Multi-Year
Exercise Plan (MYTEP);
• Sign -in sheets, rosters and an agenda;
• Documentation from recipient's financial system showing attendees were paid;
• Receipts and proof of payment (e.g. canceled check, electronic funds transfer confirmation, credit

This appendix provides criteria for identi-
fying and computing Indirect (or indirect
(F&A)) rates at IH>hs (institutions). Indirect
(F&A) costs are those that are incurred for
common or joint objectives and therefore
cannot be identified readily and specifically
with a particular sponsored project, an In-
structional activity, or any other Institu-
tional activity. Soe subsection R.I. Dsflni-
tion of Facilities and Administration, for a
discussion of the components of indirect
(F&A) costs.
1. Major Funtxtmrs of not Institution
Refers to instruction, organized researnh,
other sponsored activities and other institu-
tional activities as defined in this section_
a. Imbu;tton means the teaching and
training activities of an institution. Except
for research training as provided in sub-
section b, this term includes all teaching and
training activities, whether they are offered
for credits toward a degree or certificate or
on a non - credit basis, and whether thoy are
offered through regular academic depart-
ments or separate divisions, such as a sum-
mer school division or an extension division,
Also considered part of this major function
are departmental research, and, whore
agreed to, university research.
(1) sponsored tnuTuction and trnfubw means
specific instructional or training activity es-
tablished by grant, contract, or 000perativo
agreement:, For purposes of the cost prin-
ciples, this activity may be considered a
major function even though an institution's
accounting treatment may include it in the
Instruction function.
(2) Departmental research moans research,
development and scholarly activities that
are not organized research and, con-
sequently, are not separately budgeted and
accounted for. Departmental research, for
purposes of this document, is not considered
as a major function, but as a part of the in-
struction function of the Institution.
b. Organtaod research mesas all research
and development activities of an institution
that are separately budgeted and acoounted
for. It includes:
2 CFR Ch. 11(1 -1 -1a Mon)
0) Smonsofed research means all research
and development activities that are spon-
sored by Federal and non - Federal agencies
and organizations. This term includes activi-
ties involving the training of Individuals in
research techniques (commonly called re-
search training) where such activities utilize
the same facilities as other research and de-
velopment activities and where such activi-
ties are not included in the instruction Am-
LIM
(2) University Tewarch means all research
and development activities that are sepa-
rately budgeted and accounted for by the in-
stitutlon under an Internal application of in-
stitutional fords, University research, for
purposes of this document, must be com-
blued with sponsored research under the
function of organised research,
c, Othef sponsored activities means programs
and projects financed by Federal and non -
Federal agencies and organisations which in-
volve the performance of work other than in-
struction and organised research. Examples
of such programs and projects are health
service projects and community service pro-
grams. However, when any of these activities
are undertaken by the institution without
outside support, they may be classified as
other Institutional activities,
d, Oilier taatttationat activities means all ac-
tivities of an Institution except for instruc-
tion, departmental research, organized re-
search, and other sponsored activities, as de-
fined In this section; Indirect (PgrA) cost ac-
tivities identified In this Appendix para-
graph B . Ids ion d assignment of in- and direct specialized services
facilities doscribed in J200.468 Spocialized
service facilities of this Part.
Examples of other institutional activities
Include operation of residence halls, dining
halls, hospitals and clinics, student unions,
Intercollegiate athletics, bookstores. faculty
housing, student apartments. guest houses,
chapels, theaters, public museums. and other
similar auxiliary enterprises. This definition
also Includes any other categories of activi-
ties, costs of which are "unallowable" to
Federal awards, unless otherwise Indicated
In an award.
2. Crtterta for DutTOution
a. Buse peftod. A base period for distribu-
tion of indirect (F&A) costs is the period
daring which the costs are incurred. The
base period normally should coincide with
the fiscal year established by the Institution,
but In any event the base period should be so
selected as to avoid inequities In the dis-
tribution of casts.
b- Need for oust prouptnos. The overall ob-
jective of the indirect (F&A) cost allocation
prooess is to distribute the indirect (F&A)
costs described in Section B, Identification
