EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve Department of Homeland Security Grant Agreement 10-DS-
39-09-21-01-39 between Collier County and the Florida Division of Emergency
Management accepting $25,500.00 for Emergency Management Program Enhancement

OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners accept and approve DHS Grant
Agreement 10-DS-39-09-21-01-39 between the State of Florida, Division of Emergency
Management and Collier County for funds that will enhance emergency program activities
within Collier County for Fiscal Year 2010.
CONSIDERATION: The Emergency Management Department received an Award Notice
dated 10-30-09 stating that the Federal Government has made available and awarded, through the
Department of Homeland Security, funds in the amount of$25,500,OO. Our intentions are to use
this funding to gain accreditation from the Emergency Management Accreditation Program
(EMAP). The accreditation process will greatly improve capabilities in our emergency
management program and provide an opportunity to assess our program against established
national standards. Furthermore, this process will demonstrate discipline and accountability and
will provide our citizens evidence of our department's best efforts to comply with national
standards.
FISCAL IMPACT: This Grant is in the amount of $25,500 and there is no matching
requirement. A budget amendment is necessary in order to recognize and appropriate $25,500 in
the Emergency Management Grants Fund (713) for FY2010.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney's Office
and is legally sufficient for Board action. As the State is extending the offer to the County, the
County is required to sign the Agreement first. -CMG
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management Impact associated
with this Executive Summary.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approve and authorize the
Chairman to sign Grant Agreement 10-DS-39-09-21-01-39 and accept $25,500.00 from the
Florida Division of Emergency Management for emergency management program enhancement
and authorize the necessary budget amendment.

III, Program Requirements
D. National Incident Management System (NIMS) Compliance
HSPD-5, "Management of Domestic Incidents," mandated the creation of NIMS and the National
Response Plan (NRP), NIMS provides a consistent framework for entities at all jurisdictional levels to
work together to manage domestic incidents, regardless of cause, size, or complexity, To promote
interoperability and compatibility among Federal, State, local, and tribal capabilities, NIMS includes a core
set of guidelines, standards, and protocols for command and management, preparedness, resource
management, communications and information management, supporting technologies, and management
and maintenance of NIMS, The NRP, using the template established by NIMS, is an all-discipline, all-
hazards plan that provides the structure and mechanisms to coordinate operations for evolving or
potential Incidents of National Significance, which are major events that "require a coordinated and
effective response by an appropriate combination of Federal, State, local, tribal, private sector, and
nongovernmental entities,"
The NIMS Integration Center (NIC) recommends 38 NIMS Compliance Objectives for nongovernmental
organizations that support NIMS implementation, These activities closely parallel the implementation
activities that have been required of State, territorial, tribal, and local governments since 2004 and can be
found at www.fema.QOV/Ddf/emerqencv/nims/nqofs.Ddf.Tointegrate nonprofit organizations into the
broader national preparedness effort, DHS encourages grantees to consider pursuing these
recommended activities,
Additionally, nongovernmental organizations grantees and sub-grantees will be required to meet certain
NIMS compliance requirements, This includes all emergency preparedness, response, and/or security
personnel in the organization participating in the development, implementation, and/or operation of
resources and/or activities awarded through this grant must complete training programs consistent with

Florida Division of Emergency Management
US Department of Homeland Security Granls Program
Grant Monitoring Process
Florida has enhanced the state and local capability and capacity to prevent, prepare and respond to
terrorist threats since 1999 through various funding sources including federal grant funds, As the steward
of the State Homeland Security Grant Program funds, projects and equipment the Florida Division of
Emergency Management (FDEM) has a responsibility to track and monitor the status of the grant activity
and items purchased,
The monitoring process detailed in this document is designed to assess a recipient agency's compliance
with applicable state and federal guidelines, The FDEM is responsible for monitoring the financial,
programmatic and capability portion of the grant to include equipment procurement and compliance with
applicable SHSGP grant guidance and statutory regulations,
Monitoring is accomplished utilizing various methods including desk monitoring and on-site visits, There
are two primary areas reviewed during monitoring activities - financial and programmatic/capability,
Financial monitoring is the review of records associated with the purchase and disposition of property,
projects and contracts, Capability review is the observation of equipment purchased, protocols and other
associated records, Various levels of financial and programmatic review may be accomplished during
this process,
Desk monitoring is defined as the review of projects, financial activity and technical assistance between
the program office and the applicant via e-mail and telephone, Site visits are defined as actual visits to
the recipient agency's location by a team or members of the FDEM or their designee, to actually observe
records, procedures and equipment.
FreQuencv of annual monilorinQ activilv:
Each year the FDEM will identify up to 50% of sub-grantees for site visit monitoring, It is important to
note that although a given grant has been closed successfully, it is still subject to either desk or on-site
monitoring for a five year period following closure,
Examples of areas thai mav be examined include:

Specific difficulties completing the project.
Agency NIMSIICS compliance documentation
In certain circumstances, the FDEM may request additional monitoring/information if the activity, or lack
there of, on the part of the specific recipient has generated questions from the region, the sponsoring
state agency or the FDEM leadership, The method of gathering this information will be determined on a
case-by-case basis,
Desk monitoring is an on-going process, Agency recipients will be required to participate in desk top
monitoring on an annuai basis and as determined by the FDEM. The agency recipients will complete and
submit the desk top monitoring within 14 business calendar days of receipt. This contact will provide an
opportunity to identify the need for technical assistance (T A) and/or a site visit if the FDEM determines
that a recipient is having difficulty completing their project.
As difficulties/deficiencies are identified. the respective region or sponsoring agency will be notified by the
program office via email. Information will include the grant recipient agency name, year and project
description and the nature of the issue in question, Many of the issues that arise may be resolved at the
regional or sponsoring agency level. Issues that require further TA will be referred to the FDEM for
assistance, Examples of TA include but are not limited to:
. Equipment selection or available vendors
. Eligibility of items or services
. Coordination and partnership with other agencies within or outside the region or
discipline
