9. RECORDS
A. As a condition of receiving state financial assistance, and as required by sections
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
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
4
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-
archives/ records - management/general - records - schedules /.
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 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 - Attachments A and C - and all other applicable laws and regulations.
10. AUDITS
A. As required by Rule 27P- 19.010(5), Florida Administrative Code, "All recipients of
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 this Agreement, 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
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
6
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 State entities).
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.
K. In addition to the information listed in paragraph 101 above, the financial reporting
package shall include a schedule of financial assistance specifically identifying all Agreement and other
revenue by sponsoring agency and Agreement number.

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, unless a
specific exception applies, 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart A (Definitions) and Subpart E (Cost Principles) 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.
Planning:
Planning spans all five National Preparedness Goal (the Goal) mission areas and provides a baseline for
determining potential threats and hazards, required capabilities, required resources, and establishes a
framework for roles and responsibilities. Planning provides a methodical way to engage the whole
community in the development of a strategic, operational, and /or community -based approach to
preparedness.
Some examples of authorized planning activities include:
• Emergency Management /Operation Plans;
• Communications Plans;
• Continuity /Administration Plans;
• Whole Community Engagement/Planning;
• Resource Management Planning;
• Evacuation planning;
• Recovery Planning; and,
• Credentialing and Validation.
