AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to Rescind a Subgrant Agreement for Equipment for Florida

Response. The Sub grant Agreement was approved by the Board at the August 18, 2004 BOCC
meeting.
ITEM BACKGROUND: As a result of funds becoming available through the federal government, the
Department of Health (DOH), Division of Emergency Medical Operations (EMO) was authorized to
develop a Sub grant Agreement to disperse funds to Monroe County to acquire goods, equipment, and
supplies for use in training and participating as a State of Florida Regional Response agency for
disasters, including terrorism.
A Sub grant Agreement for Equipment for Florida Strategy between DOH, Division of EMO and
Monroe County (for Fire Rescue) was approved by the BOCC at the August 18, 2004 meeting and
thereby executed by the appropriate officials of Monroe County. On January 31,2005 it was learned
that the Sub grant Agreement would not be executed by the DOH as the project had been changed
substantially by an Equipment Subcommittee of the State, and this made the current Agreement null
and void. In view of the foregoing, the DOH, Division ofEMO has requested that the Sub grant
Agreement be rescinded. A new agreement with the corrected equipment specifications will follow
within the next few months.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On August 18,2004 the Board approved and authorized
execution of a Sub grant Agreement for Equipment for Florida Strategy with Florida Dep.artment of
