This Agreement shall begin July 1, 2019 and shall end on June 30, 2020, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph (17) of this Agreement. Consistent with the definition of "period of performance" contained in 2 C.F.R. §200.77, the term "period of agreement" refers to the time during which the Sub -Recipient "may incur new obligations to carry out the work authorized under" this Agreement. In accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.309, the Sub -Recipient may receive reimbursement under this Agreement only for "allowable costs incurred during the period of performance." In accordance with section 215.971(1)(d), Florida Statutes, the Sub -Recipient may expend funds authorized by this Agreement "only for allowable costs resulting from obligations incurred during" the period of agreement. (9) FUNDING a. This is a cost -reimbursement Agreement, subject to the availability of funds. b. The State of Florida's performance and obligation to pay under this Agreement is contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Legislature, and subject to any modification in accordance with either Chapter 216, Florida Statutes, or the Florida Constitution. c. The Division will reimburse the Sub -Recipient only for allowable costs incurred by the Sub -Recipient in the successful completion of each deliverable. The maximum reimbursement amount for each deliverable is outlined in the Budget (Attachment A) and Scope of Work (Attachment B) of this Agreement. The maximum reimbursement amount for the entirety of this Agreement is $ $108.299.00 d. As required by 2 C.F.R. §200.415(a), any request for payment under this Agreement must include a certification, signed by an official who is authorized to legally bind the Sub -Recipient, which reads as follows: "By signing this report, I certify to the best of my knowledge and belief that the report is true, complete, and accurate, and the expenditures, disbursements and cash receipts are for the purposes and objectives set forth in the terms and conditions of the Federal award. I am aware that any 4 false, fictitious, or fraudulent information, or the omission of any material fact, may subject me to criminal, civil or administrative penalties for fraud, false statements, false claims or otherwise. (U.S. Code Title 18, Section 1001 and Title 31, Sections 3729-3730 and 3801-3812)." e. The Division will review any request for reimbursement by comparing the documentation provided by the Sub -Recipient against a performance measure, outlined in the Budget (Attachment A) and Scope of Work (Attachment B), that clearly delineates: The required minimum acceptable level of service to be performed; and, The criteria for evaluating the successful completion of each deliverable. f. The performance measure required by section 215.971(1)(b), Florida Statutes, remains consistent with the requirement for a "performance goal', which is defined in 2 C.F.R. §200.76 as "a target level of performance expressed as a tangible, measurable objective, against which actual achievement can be compared." It also remains consistent with the requirement, contained in 2 C.F.R. §200.301, that the Division and the Sub -Recipient "relate financial data to performance accomplishments of the Federal award." g. If authorized by the Federal Awarding Agency, then the Division will reimburse the Sub -Recipient for overtime expenses in accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.430 ("Compensation—personal services") and 2 C.F.R. §200.431 ("Compensation—fringe benefits"). If the Sub -Recipient seeks reimbursement for overtime expenses for periods when no work is performed due to vacation, holiday, illness, failure of the employer to provide sufficient work, or other similar cause (see 29 U.S.C. §207(e)(2)), then the Division will treat the expense as a fringe benefit. 2 C.F.R. §200.431(a) defines fringe benefits as "allowances and services provided by employers to their employees as compensation in addition to regular salaries and wages." Fringe benefits are allowable under this Agreement as long as the benefits are reasonable and are required by law, Sub -Recipient -employee agreement, or an established policy of the Sub -Recipient. 2 C.F.R. §200.431(b) provides that the cost of fringe benefits in the form of regular compensation paid to employees during periods of authorized absences from the job, such as for annual leave, family -related leave, sick leave, holidays, court leave, military leave, administrative leave, and other similar benefits, are allowable if all of the following criteria are met: awards; and, i. They are provided under established written leave policies; ii. The costs are equitably allocated to all related activities, including Federal iii. The accounting basis (cash or accrual) selected for costing each type of leave is consistently followed by the non -Federal entity or specified grouping of employees. h. If authorized by the Federal Awarding Agency, then the Division will reimburse the Sub -Recipient for travel expenses in accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.474. As required by the Reference Guide for State Expenditures, reimbursement for travel must be in accordance with section 112.061, Florida Statutes, which includes submission of the claim on the approved state travel voucher. If the Sub- Recipient seeks reimbursement for travel costs that exceed the amounts stated in section 112.061(6)(b), Florida Statutes ($6 for breakfast, $11 for lunch, and $19 for dinner), then the Sub -Recipient must provide documentation that: The costs are reasonable and do not exceed charges normally allowed by the Sub -Recipient in its regular operations as a result of the Sub -Recipient's written travel policy; and, ii. Participation of the individual in the travel is necessary to the Federal award. i. The Division's grant manager, as required by section 215.971(2)(c), Florida Statutes, shall reconcile and verify all funds received against all funds expended during the grant agreement period and produce a final reconciliation report. The final report must identify any funds paid in excess of the expenditures incurred by the Sub -Recipient. j. As defined by 2 C.F.R. §200.53, the term "improper payment" means or includes: Any payment that should not have been made or that was made in an incorrect amount (including overpayments and underpayments) under statutory, contractual, administrative, or other legally applicable requirements; and, Any payment to an ineligible party, any payment for an ineligible good or service, any duplicate payment, any payment for a good or service not received (except for such payments where authorized by law), any payment that does not account for credit for applicable discounts, and any payment where insufficient or lack of documentation prevents a reviewer from discerning whether a payment was proper. (10)RECORDS a. As required by 2 C.F.R. §200.336, the Federal awarding agency, Inspectors General, the Comptroller General of the United States, and the Division, or any of their authorized representatives, shall enjoy the right of access to any documents, papers, or other records of the Sub -Recipient which are pertinent to the Federal award, in order to make audits, examinations, excerpts, and transcripts. The right of access also includes timely and reasonable access to the Sub -Recipient's personnel for the purpose of interview and discussion related to such documents. Finally, the right of access is not limited to the required retention period but lasts as long as the records are retained. b. As required by 2 C.F.R. §200.331(a)(5), the Division, the Chief Inspector General of the State of Florida, 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 Sub -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 Sub -Recipient's personnel for the purpose of interview and discussion related to such documents. c. As required by Florida Department of State's record retention requirements (Chapter 119, Florida Statutes) and by 2 C.F.R. §200.333, the Sub -Recipient shall retain sufficient records to show its compliance with the terms of this Agreement, as well as the compliance of all subcontractors or 6 T_"� consultants paid from funds under this Agreement, for a period of five (5) years from the date of submission of the final expenditure report. The following are the only exceptions to the five (5) year requirement: If any litigation, claim, or audit is started before the expiration of the 5 -year period, then the records must be retained until all litigation, claims, or audit findings involving the records have been resolved and final action taken. ii. When the Division or the Sub -Recipient is notified in writing by the Federal awarding agency, cognizant agency for audit, oversight agency for audit, cognizant agency for indirect costs, or pass-through entity to extend the retention period. iii. Records for real property and equipment acquired with Federal funds must be retained for 5 years after final disposition. iv. When records are transferred to or maintained by the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity, the 5 -year retention requirement is not applicable to the Sub -Recipient. V. Records for program income transactions after the period of performance. In some cases recipients must report program income after the period of performance. Where there is such a requirement, the retention period for the records pertaining to the earning of the program income starts from the end of the non -Federal entity's fiscal year in which the program income is earned. vi. Indirect cost rate proposals and cost allocations plans. This paragraph applies to the following types of documents and their supporting records: indirect cost rate computations or proposals, cost allocation plans, and any similar accounting computations of the rate at which a particular group of costs is chargeable (such as computer usage chargeback rates or composite fringe benefit rates). d. In accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.334, the Federal awarding agency must request transfer of certain records to its custody from the Division or the Sub -Recipient when it determines that the records possess long-term retention value. e. In accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.335, the Division must always provide or accept paper versions of Agreement information to and from the Sub -Recipient upon request. If paper copies are submitted, then the Division must not require more than an original and two copies. When original records are electronic and cannot be altered, there is no need to create and retain paper copies. When original records are paper, electronic versions may be substituted through the use of duplication or other forms of electronic media provided that they are subject to periodic quality control reviews, provide reasonable safeguards against alteration, and remain readable. f. As required by 2 C.F.R. §200.303, the Sub -Recipient shall take reasonable measures to safeguard protected personally identifiable information and other information the Federal awarding agency or the Division designates as sensitive or the Sub -Recipient considers sensitive consistent with applicable Federal, state, local, and tribal laws regarding privacy and obligations of confidentiality. 7 g. 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 Sub=Recipient based upon the funds provided under this Agreement, the meetings of the Sub - 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. h. 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. i. The Sub -Recipient shall maintain all records for the Sub -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 Budget (Attachment A) and Scope of Work (Attachment B) and all other applicable laws and regulations.

(11)AUDITS a. The Sub -Recipient shall comply with the audit requirements contained in 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Subpart F. b. In accounting for the receipt and expenditure of funds under this Agreement, the Sub -Recipient shall follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). 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 Sub -Recipient's performance under this Agreement, the Division shall use Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards ("GAGAS"). 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. If an audit shows that all or any portion of the funds disbursed were not spent in accordance with the conditions of this Agreement, the Sub -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 Sub -Recipient of such non- compliance. e. The Sub -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 Sub -Recipient's fiscal year. f. The Sub -Recipient shall send copies of reporting packages for audits conducted in accordance with 2 C.F.R. Part 200, by or on behalf of the Sub -Recipient, to the Division at the following address: DEMSingle_Audit@em.myflorida.com OR Office of the Inspector General 2555 Shumard Oak Boulevard Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2100 g.

These reports shall include the current status and progress by the Sub -Recipient and all subcontractors in completing the work described in the Scope of Work and the expenditure of funds under this Agreement, in addition to any other information requested by the Division. b. Quarterly reports are due to the Division no later than 30 days after the end of each quarter of the program year and shall be sent each quarter until submission of the administrative close- out report. The ending dates for each quarter of the program year are September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30. c. The close-out report is due 60 days after termination of this Agreement or 60 days after completion of the activities contained in this Agreement, whichever first occurs. d. If all required reports and copies are not sent to the Division or are not completed in a manner acceptable to the Division, then the Division may withhold further payments until they are completed or may take other action as stated in Paragraph (16) REMEDIES. "Acceptable to the Division" means that the work product was completed in accordance with the Budget and Scope of Work. e. The Sub -Recipient shall provide additional program updates or information that may be required by the Division. f. The Sub -Recipient shall provide additional reports and information identified in Quarterly Reports (Attachment D). (13)MONITORING. a. The Sub -Recipient shall monitor its performance under this Agreement, as well as that of its subcontractors and/or consultants who are paid from funds provided under this Agreement, to ensure that time schedules are being met, the Schedule of Deliverables and Scope of Work are being accomplished within the specified time periods, and other performance goals are being achieved. A 10 Qr review shall be done for each function or activity in the Budget (Attachment A) and Scope of Work (Attachment B) to this Agreement, and reported in Quarterly Reports (Attachment D). b. In addition to reviews of audits, monitoring procedures may include, but not be limited to, on-site visits by Division staff, limited scope audits, and/or other procedures. The Sub -Recipient agrees to comply and cooperate with any monitoring procedures/processes deemed appropriate by the Division. In the event that the Division determines that a limited scope audit of the Sub -Recipient is appropriate, the Sub -Recipient agrees to comply with any additional instructions provided by the Division to the Sub -Recipient regarding such audit. The Sub -Recipient further agrees to comply and cooperate with any inspections, reviews, investigations or audits deemed necessary by the Florida Chief Financial Officer or Auditor General. In addition, the Division will monitor the performance and financial management by the Sub -Recipient throughout the contract term to ensure timely completion of all tasks. (14)LIABILITY a.

FY2019 allowable costs are divided into the following categories: • Planning; • Organization; • Equipment; • Training; • Exercise; and, • Management and Administration. Eligible activities are outlined in Allowable Costs and Eligible Activities. The EMPG's allowable costs support efforts to build and sustain core capabilities across the Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery mission areas described in the National Preparedness Goal. The intent of the EMPG Base Grant Agreement is to provide each county with the means to successfully manage and operate an Emergency Management Program by enhancing county emergency management plans and programs that are consistent with the State and Local Comprehensive Emergency Management Plans and Chapter 252, Florida Statutes. Counties must be able to prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate against natural and man-made disasters/ emergencies. Each Emergency Management staff person must work the number of hours and assume the responsibilities for the duties in their official position description as well as provide the coordination and support for all incidents within their jurisdiction. By signing this Agreement, the Sub -Recipient certifies that it will use these funds to enhance the county's Emergency Management Program. 33 Tasks & Deliverables: The Sub -Recipient must successfully complete the following tasks and deliverables throughout the period of performance. Quarterly Tasks (Forml B) will need to be provided each quarter to show completion or working towards the completion of each task. Quarterly deliverables must be uploaded into the Division's SharePoint portal at https:Hportal.floridadisaster.org each quarter as stated in the scope of work. The Sub -Recipient must also provide a certification of completion on the deliverable checklist. 1. Match. Throughout the period of performance for this Agreement, the Sub -Recipient shall use non - Federal funds to match dollar for dollar all funds provided under this Agreement. Deliverables (due each quarter): • Provide Quarterly Match Form 3A to identify the non-federal match amount; • Supporting documentation is required if the federal obligation exceeds the EMPA award amount or using local funds to satisfy the match requirement. If using EMPA as match no additional supporting documentation is required. Supporting documentation must include invoices, receipts, paystubs, earning statements, cancelled checks, credit card statements, bank statements for proof of payment at least equal to the amount of reimbursement requested for that quarter. Validatinq Capabilities - National Incident Management System (NIMS). All EMPG-funded personnel shall complete either the Independent Study courses identified in the Professional Development Series orthe National Emergency Management Basic Academy delivered either by the Emergency Management Institute (EMI) or at a sponsored state, local, tribal, territorial, regional or other designated location. Further information on the National Emergency Management Basic Academy and the Emergency Management Professional Program can be found at: https:Htraining.fema.gov/empp/. Previous versions of the IS courses meet the NIMS training requirement. A complete list of Independent Study Program Courses may be found at http://training.fema.gov/is. In addition to training activities aligned to and addressed in the Training and Exercise Plan (TEP), all EMPG funded personnel must complete the following training requirements and record proof of completion: NIMS Training, Independent Study (IS) -100 (any version), IS -200 (any version), IS -700 (any version), and IS -800 (any version), and Professional Development Series (PDS) or the Emergency Management Professionals Program (EMPP) Basic Academy Deliverable (due each quarter): • The FDEM Form 4 - Staffing Detail for all funded EMPG personnel; • Position descriptions for funded EMPG personnel and any position being used as match; • Training certificates for funded EMPG personnel listed on the FDEM Form 4 — Staffing Detail.

NOTE: For quarters 2, 3, and 4, additional course completion documentation is required only if: • New personnel are listed on the Staffing Detail Form. 34 3. Training and Exercises. The Sub -Recipient shall develop and maintain a Multi -Year Training and Exercise Plan (MYTEP) that identifies a combination of exercises and associated training requirements that address priorities identified in the TEPW and builds from training gaps identified in the county assessment process. Training activities must enhance the capabilities of emergency management personnel, including establishing, supporting, conducting, and attending training deliveries. Training activities should align to a current, MYTEP developed through an annual Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (TEPW) and should reflect efforts to address training capabilities gaps. Exercises play a vital role in national preparedness by enabling whole community stakeholders to test and validate plans and capabilities, and identify both capability gaps and areas for improvement. Exercises also test capabilities, familiarize emergency management personnel with roles and responsibilities, and foster meaningful interaction and communication across organizations. Exercises bring together and strengthen the whole community in its efforts to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from all hazards. Exercises conducted with grant funds should test and evaluate performance towards meeting capability targets established in a jurisdiction's THIRA for the core capabilities needed to address its greatest risks. Exercise priorities should align to a current, Multi -Year TEP developed through an annual TEPW. Deliverables: • Provide the percentage of completed training and exercise activities listed on the current MYTEP (due each quarter); • Update the County 2021-2023 MYTEP by April 30, 2020 (due 4t" quarter); = Provide sign in sheet or certificate of participation in at least three (3) exercises for funded EMPG personnel during the period of performance (due 2nd through 4t" quarter) 4. Inventory Management - Distribution Management Plan. All EMPG Sub -Recipients must provide an Inventory Management component to the Division's Distribution Management Plan to include the identification of resources including commodities, equipment and supplies in the event of a disaster. Section 252.35 (2)(g), Florida Statutes, requires the Division to: • Ascertain the requirements of the state and its political subdivisions for supplies and equipment of all kinds in the event of a disaster; and • Plan for and either procure supplies, medicines, materials, and equipment or enter into memoranda of agreement or open purchase orders that will ensure their availability. Completion of this requirement ensures statewide resource requirements are identified. Deliverable (due 4th quarter): • Provide an inventory list of resources on the Logistics Distribution Inventory Management form. All fields must be completed, items must be "typed" appropriately, and physical location recorded. The Logistics Distribution Inventory Management form can be located in the Division's SharePoint portal. 35 ml ATTACHMENT C ALLOWABE COSTS AND ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES I. Categories and Eligible Activities The 2019 EMPG Funding Guidance allowable costs are divided into the following categories: planning, organization, equipment, training, exercise, and management and administration. Allowable Costs A. 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. Plans should have prior review and approval from the respective DEM state program. Funds may not be reimbursed for any plans that are not approved. EMPG Program funds may be used to develop or enhance emergency management planning activities. Some examples include, but not limited to: • Emergency Operation Plans • Communications Plans • Administrative Plans • Whole Community Engagement/Planning • Resource Management Planning • Sheltering and Evacuation Planning • Recovery Planning • Continuity Plans • Local- Comprehensive Emergency Management Planning Planning Costs Supporting Documentation: Provide copies of completed plan, contracts, Memorandum of Understanding or agreements with consultants or sub -contractors providing services and documenting hours worked and proof employee was paid (paystubs, earning statements, payroll expenditure reports). Copies of invoices, receipts and cancelled checks, credit card statements, bank statements for proof of payment. B. Organization EMPG Program funds may be used for all -hazards emergency management operations, staffing, and other day-to-day activities in support of emergency management.

Part 200, Subpart E — Cost Principles. Eligible "Organization Cost' items include, but are not limited to: • Salaries and Fringe Benefits - provide copies of certified timesheets with employee and supervisor signature documenting hours worked or FDEM Form 6 - Time and Effort and proof employee was paid (paystubs, earning statements, and payroll expenditure reports). ■ Utilities (electric, water and sewage) • Service/Maintenance agreements (provide vendor debarment and service agreement for contractual services) • Office Supplies/Materials 36 • IT Software Upgrades • Memberships • Publications • Postage • Storage • Other Personnel/Contractual Services • Reimbursement for services by a person(s) who is not a regular or full time employee filling established positions. This includes but is not limited to, temporary employees, student or graduate assistants, fellowships, part time academic employment, board members, consultants, and other services. • Consultant Services require a pre -approved Contract or purchase order by the Division. Copies of additional quotes should also be supplied when requesting pre -approval. These requests should be sent to the grant manager for the Division for review. • Maintenance and Enhancement • Major repairs to the County Emergency Operations Center (Need prior EHP approval) • Central Heat/Air (Need prior EHP approval) • Out buildings for storage of Emergency Management Equipment (Need prior EHP approval) • Security Improvements (i.e. Cameras and equipment to operate) • Generators and Installation (Need prior EHP approval) Maintenance and Sustainment The use of FEMA preparedness grants funds for maintenance contracts, warranties, repair or replacement costs, upgrades, and user fees are allowable under all active grant awards, unless otherwise noted. EMPG Program grant funds are intended to support the Goal and fund activities and projects that build and sustain the capabilities necessary to prevent, protect against, mitigate the effects of, respond to, and recover from those threats that pose the greatest risk to the security of the Nation. In order to provide Sub -Recipients the ability to meet this objective, the policy set forth in GPD's IB 379 (Guidance to State Administrative Agencies to Expedite the Expenditure of Certain DHS/FEMA Grant Funding) allows for the expansion of eligible maintenance and sustainment costs, which must be in: (1) direct support of existing capabilities; (2) must be an otherwise allowable expenditure under the applicable grant program; (3) be tied to one of the core capabilities in the five mission areas contained within the Goal, and (4) shareable through the EMAC. Additionally, eligible costs may also be in support of equipment, training, and critical resources that have previously been purchased with either federal grant funding or any other source of funding other than DHS/FEMA preparedness grant program dollars. Additional guidance is provided in FEMA Policy FP 205-402-125-1, Maintenance Contracts and Warranty Coverage Funded by Preparedness Grants, located at: hftp://www.fema.gov/media-libra[y/assets/documents/32474. Organization Costs Supporting Documentation: For salaries, provide copies of certified timesheets with employee and supervisor signature documenting hours worked or FDEM Form 6 - Time and Effort and proof employee was paid (paystubs, earning statements, payroll expenditure reports). Expense items need to have copies of invoices, receipts and cancelled checks, credit card statements, bank statements for proof of payment. All documentation for reimbursement amounts must be clearly visible and defined (i.e., highlighted, underlined, circled on the required supporting documentation). The Quarterly Tasks (Form 1 B) is due every quarter with the quarterly financial report. This is to identify emergency management personnel, all EMPG funded employees and the completion of the required tasks and deliverables as outlined in the scope of work during the agreement period. 37 C. Equipment Allowable equipment categories for the EMPG Program are listed on the web -based version of the Authorized Equipment List (AEL) at https://www.fema..qov/authorized-equipment-list. Unless otherwise stated, equipment must meet all mandatory regulatory and/or FEMA -adopted standards to be eligible for purchase using these funds. In addition, agencies will be responsible for obtaining and maintaining all necessary certifications and licenses for the requested equipment.

Funding for Critical Emergency Supplies Critical emergency supplies—such as shelf stable products, water, and basic medical supplies—are an allowable expense under EMPG. DHS/FEMA must approve a state's five-year viable inventory management plan prior to allocating grant funds for stockpiling purposes. The five-year plan should include a distribution strategy and related sustainment costs if the grant expenditure is over $100,000. Equipment Acquisition Costs Supporting Documentation: Provide copies of invoices, receipts and cancelled checks, credit card statements, bank statements for proof of payment. Provide the Authorized Equipment List (AEL) # for each equipment purchase. D. Training EMPG Program funds may be used for a range of emergency management -related training activities to enhance the capabilities of local emergency management personnel through the establishment, support, conduct, and attendance of training. Training activities should align to a current, Multi -Year TEP developed through an annual TEPW. Training should foster the development of a community 38 oriented approach to emergency management that emphasizes engagement at the community level, strengthens best practices, and provides a path toward building sustainable resilience. All EMPG-funded personnel are expected to be trained emergency managers. In addition to training activities aligned to and addressed in the TEP, all EMPG -funded personnel (including full- and part- time state, local, tribal and territorial (SLTT) recipients and subrecipients) shall complete the following training requirements and record proof of completion: (1) NIMS Training, Independent Study (IS) -100 (any version), IS -200 (any version), IS -700 (any version), and IS -800 (any version) AND; (2) Professional Development Series (PDS) OR the Emergency Management Professionals Program (EMPP) Basic Academy listed in the chart below. Professional Develo ment Series or Basic Academy PDS Basic Academy Professional Development Series Basic Academy Pre -requisites and Courses IS -120.a An Introduction to Exercises IS -100 (any version) Introduction to the Incident Command System IS -230.d Fundamentals of Emergency IS -700 (any version) National Incident Management Management System (NIMS)-An Introduction IS -235.b Emergency Planning IS -800 (any version) National Response OR Framework, An Introduction IS -240.b Leadership and Influence IS -230.d Fundamentals of Emergency Management IS -241.b Decision Making and E/L101 Foundations of Emergency Problem Solving Management IS -242.b Effective Communication E/L102 Science of Disasters E/L 103 Planning Emergency Operations IS -244.b Developing and Managing E/L104 Exercise Design Volunteers E/L105 Public Information & Warning Additional types of training or training related activities include, but are not limited to, the following: • Developing/enhancing systems to monitor training programs • Conducting all hazards emergency management training • Attending Emergency Management Institute (EMI) training or delivering EMI train -the -trainer courses • Attending other FEMA -approved emergency management training 39 • State -approved, locally -sponsored CERT training • Mass evacuation training at local, state, and tribal levels Allowable training -related costs include the following: 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 should 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, should 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 Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement and Evaluate (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 FEMA and/or 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 or FEMA, whichever is applicable. 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 employees who are on travel status for official business related to approved training. Hiring of Full or Part -Time Staff or Contractors/Consultants. Full or part-time staff or contractors/consultants may be hired to support direct training -related activities. Payment of salaries and fringe benefits must be in accordance with the policies of the state or unit(s) of local government and have the approval of the state or FEMA, whichever is applicable. 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 which involve training of trainers. When conducting a 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 must reduce the amount authorized for reimbursement on a pro - rata basis for any training with less than 15 participants. Conferences The Division recognizes the important role that conferences can play in the professional development of emergency managers. 2 C.F.R. §200.432 defines the term conference as "a meeting, retreat, seminar, symposium, workshop or event whose primary purpose is the dissemination of technical information beyond the non -Federal entity and is necessary and reasonable for successful performance under the Federal award." o Rule 691-42.002(3), Florida Administrative Code, defines the term conference as: [T]he coming together of persons with a common interest or interests for the purpose of deliberation, interchange of views, or for the removal of differences or disputes and for discussion of their common problems and interests. The term also includes similar meetings such as seminars and workshops which are large formal group meetings that are programmed and supervised to accomplish intensive research, study, discussion and work in some specific field or on a governmental problem or problems. A conference does not mean the coming together of agency or interagency personnel. In order for travel to a conference or convention to qualify for reimbursement, the cost must be reasonable and attendance at the conference must be necessary for the successful completion of a task required by this Agreement. Provided the cost qualifies as reasonable and necessary for the successful completion of a task required by this Agreement, travel to a conference that complies with the requirements of Rule 691-42.004, Florida Administrative Code, satisfies the minimum level of service for conference travel under this Agreement. In pertinent part, Rule 691-42.004(1), Florida Administrative Code, states "No public funds shall be expended for attendance at conferences or conventions unless: • The main purpose of the conference or convention is in connection with the official business of the state and directly related to the performance of the statutory duties and responsibilities of the agency participating; • The activity provides a direct educational or other benefit supporting the work and public purpose of the person attending; • The duties and responsibilities of the traveler attending such meetings are compatible with the objectives of the particular conference or convention; and • The request for payment of travel expenses is otherwise in compliance with these rules." Provided the cost qualifies as reasonable and necessary for the successful completion of a task required by this Agreement, and provided any related travel complies with the requirements of Rule 691-42.004, Florida Administrative Code, conferences may qualify for reimbursement under this Agreement: Requests for reimbursement for payment of the registration fee or for a conference or convention must include: • A statement explaining how the expense directly relates to the Recipient's successful performance of a task outlined in this Agreement; • A copy of those pages of the agenda that itemizes the registration fee; • A copy of local travel policy; and, • A copy of the travel voucher or a statement that no travel costs were incurred, if applicable. When a meal is included in a registration fee, the meal allowance must be deducted from the reimbursement claim, even if the traveler decides for personal reasons not to eat the meal. See section 112.061(6)(c), Florida Statutes ("No one, whether traveling out of or in state, shall be reimbursed for any meal or lodging included in a convention or conference registration fee paid by the state."). A continental breakfast is considered a meal and must be deducted if included in a registration fee for a convention or conference. However, in the case where a meal is provided by a hotel or airline, the traveler shall be allowed to claim the meal allowance provided by law. 41 Class A, Class B, and Class C Travel: Class A travel is continuous travel of 24 hours or more away from official headquarters. The travel day for Class A is based on a calendar day (midnight to midnight). Class B travel is continuous travel of less than 24 hours which involves overnight absence away from official headquarters. The travel day for Class B travel begins at the same time as the travel period. Class C travel is short or day trips in which the traveler is not away from his/her official headquarters overnight. Class C allowances are currently not authorized for reimbursement. Meal Allowance and Per Diem: Section 112.061(6)(b), Florida Statutes, establishes the meal allowance for each meal during a travel period as follows: • $6 for breakfast (when travel begins before 6 a.m. and extends beyond 8 a.m.); • $11 for lunch (when travel begins before 12 noon and extends beyond 2 p.m.); and, • $19 for dinner (When travel begins before 6 p.m: and extends beyond 8 p.m. or when travel occurs during nighttime hours due to special assignment.).

Travelers may only switch from actual to per diem while on Class A travel on a midnight to midnight basis. A traveler on Class A or B travel who elects to be reimbursed on a per diem basis is allowed $20.00 for each quarter from the time of departure until the time of return. Reimbursement for Meal Allowances That Exceed the State Rates: The Division shall not reimburse for any meal allowance that exceeds $6 for breakfast, $11 for lunch, or $19 for dinner unless: • For counties — the requirements of section 112.061(14), Florida Statutes, are satisfied; • The costs do not exceed charges normally allowed by the Recipient in its regular operations as the result of the Recipient's written travel policy (in other words, the reimbursement rates apply uniformly to all travel by the Recipient); and, • The costs do not exceed the reimbursement rates established by the United States General Services Administration ("GSA") for that locale (see hftps://www.gsa.gov/r)ortal/content/104877 .

E. Exercises Exercises conducted with grant funds should test and evaluate performance towards meeting capability targets established in a jurisdiction's THIRA for the core capabilities needed to address its greatest risks. Exercise priorities should align to a current, Multi -Year Training and Exercise Plan (MYTEP) developed through an annual Training and Exercise Planning Workshop (TEPW). Allowable exercise -related costs include: • Design, Develop, Conduct and Evaluate an Exercise. This includes costs related to planning, meeting space and other meeting costs, facilitation costs, materials and supplies, travel, and documentation. Sub -Recipients are encouraged to use free public space/locations/facilities, whenever available, prior to the rental of space/locations/facilities. Exercises should provide the opportunity to demonstrate and validate skills learned, as well as to identify any gaps in these skills. Gaps identified during an exercise including those for children and individuals with disabilities or access and functional needs, should be identified in the AAR/IP and addressed in the exercise cycle. • Hiring of Full or Part -Time Staff or Contractors/Consultants. Full or part—time staff may be hired to support direct exercise activities. Payment of salaries and fringe benefits must be in accordance with the policies of the state or unit(s) of local government and have the approval of the state or FEMA, whichever is applicable. The services of contractors/consultants may also be procured to support the design, development, conduct and evaluation of exercises. • Overtime and Backfill. The entire amount of overtime costs, including payments related to backfilling personnel, which are the direct result of time spent on the design, development and conduct of exercises are allowable expenses. 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 or FEMA, whichever is applicable. 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, hotel) are allowable as expenses by employees who are on travel status for official business related to the planning and conduct of the exercise activities. Supplies. Supplies are items that are expended or consumed during the course of the planning and conduct of the exercise activities (e.g., gloves, non-sterile masks, and disposable protective equipment). 43 OtherItems. These costs are limited to items consumed in direct support of exercise activities such as the rental of space/locations for planning and conducting an exercise, rental of equipment, and the procurement of other essential nondurable goods. Sub -Recipients are encouraged to use free public space/locations, whenever available, prior to the rental of space/locations. Costs associated with inclusive practices and the provision of reasonable accommodations and modifications that facilitate full access for children and adults with disabilities are allowable.

Unauthorized exercise -related costs include: • Reimbursement for the maintenance and/or wear and tear costs of general use vehicles (e.g., construction vehicles) and emergency response apparatus (e.g., fire trucks, ambulances). The only vehicle costs that are reimbursable are fuel/gasoline or mileage. • Equipment that is purchased for permanent installation and/or use, beyond the scope of exercise conduct (e.g., electronic messaging signs) • Durable and non -durable goods purchased for installation and/or use beyond the scope of exercise conduct Exercise Costs Supporting Documentation: Provide copies of contracts, MOUs or agreements with consultants or sub -contractors providing services. Copies of invoices, receipts and cancelled checks, credit card statements and bank statements for proof of payment and a copy of Exercise Plan (EXPLAN), After -Action Report/Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) and sign in sheets for conducted exercises (if using pre populated sign in sheets they must be certified by the Emergency Management Director or Lead Exercise Planner verifying attendance). F. Management and Administration (M&A) M&A activities are those defined as directly relating to the management and administration of EMPG Program funds, such as financial management and monitoring.

II. Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) Compliance As a federal agency, FEMA is required to consider the effects of its actions on the environment and/or historic properties to ensure that all activities and programs funded by the agency, including grants - funded projects, comply with federal EHP regulations, laws and Executive Orders as applicable. Sub - Recipients proposing projects that have the potential to impact the environment including but not limited to construction of communication towers modification or renovation of existing buildings, structures and facilities or new construction including replacement of facilities, must participate in the FEMA EHP review process. The EHP review process involves the submission of a detailed project description that explains the goals and objectives of the proposed project along with supporting 45 documentation so that FEMA may determine whether the proposed project has the potential to impact environmental resources and/or historic properties. In some cases, FEMA also is required to consult with other regulatory agencies and the public in order to complete the review process. The EHP review process must be completed and approved before funds are released to carry out the proposed project. FEMA will not fund projects that are initiated without the required EHP review. Additionally, all Sub-Recipients are required to comply with DHS/FEMA EHP Policy Guidance, FEMA Policy #108-023-1. The EHP screening form is located his://www.fema.gov/media- Preparedness Grants Manual I April 2019 Page 19 library/assets/documents/90195, and further EHP guidance can be found at hftlps://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/1 18323.
