Steve Lewis, Fire Chief, 644 -3101, slewisCa?city .newport- beach.ca.usf
SUBJECT: Accept Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG)
RECOMMENDATION:
1. City Council accept the 2005 Emergency Management Performance reimbursement
Grant for $5,985.00 in funding for maintaining the City's emergency management

2. City Council approve a Budget Amendment BA _ increasing revenue estimates
by $5,985.00 in 2355 -4894, and appropriating those funds into Fire Department
account 2355 -8105.
DISCUSSION:
In FY 2005, under the direction of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced the availability of grant
reimbursement funding to promote and sustain state and local emergency
preparedness programs. The primary objective of the funding is to support state and
local governments to prevent, prepare for, mitigate against, respond to and recover from
emergencies and disasters whether natural or man -made.
This funding will assist the City of Newport Beach to continue the current emergency
management program responsibilities including: maintaining the City's Emergency
Operations Center (EOC), conducting citywide EOC emergency exercises, and training
city staff on the National Incident Management System (NIMS), as well as the Disaster
Service Worker program.
The FEMA Grant guidance for the 05 EMPG reimbursement grant requires a 50 percent
funding match. In addition, the Orange County Operational Area requires an activation
of the City's Emergency Operations Center for an exercise or an actual event, and
representation at monthly OCEMO meetings during the grant fiscal year. The city has
fulfilled all grant guidance requirements, and in accordance with council policy, the Fire
Department requests Council to accept this grant funding, and deposit funds into the
Fire Department Emergency Management Division account 2355 -8105.
