Dear Commissioner Freeman:
Enclosed are four copies of the Agreement for the Emergency Management Preparedness
and Assistance (EMP A) Base Grant between your county and the Department of Community
Affairs for Fiscal Year 2000-2001.
The amount of the contract represents an allocation approved by the 2000 Legislature
($105,806) less your county's portion of the statewide satellite service costs. The deduction for
satellite communication services for Fiscal Year 1999-2000 is $2,880. Your contract shows a
credit of $1 ,232 in services for Fiscal Year 2000-2001 due to an overcharge which occurred in a
prior year for your county's Satellite Communications Equipment.
We were asked by several counties about the possibility of combining the EMP A Base
Grant (State funds) and the State and Local Assistance (SLA) (Federal funds) Agreements. We
are pleased to inform you that beginning with this Agreement, we will be making these funds
available to you in this single Agreement. Upon our receipt of the Federal funds, we will provide
these funds to your county by means of an A ward Letter. Please see Paragraph IV. Modification
of Contract.
I encourage you to read the contract and attachments thoroughly. The October I, 2000 -
September 30, 200 I activities detailed in your revised Five-Year Strategic Plan, currently being
negotiated and approved through your area coordinator, will become your Scope of Work,
Attachment A-I. The 2000-2001 Agreement cannot be fully executed until this Strategic Plan
document has been completed and approved.
Before returning the Agreement, be sure to indicate on Attachment F, FundinglMatching,
in either Section B.l or B.2, whether an advance payment is being requested. All requests for
funding advancement should be accompanied by a detailed justification. Please sign and return
all four copies to this office. A fully executed copy will be returned for your records.
