Public Health File ID: 25-0286 Re: Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a retroactive grant Application/Revenue Agreement including Assurances, Certifications and Authorized Agent Form with the State of California, Governor's Office of Emergency Services for the FY 2024 Emergency Management Performance Grant,for the period of July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2026($601,408); Retroactively authorize the Director of Public Health, or Designee's previous execution of the grant award letter for the FY 2024 Emergency Management Performance Grant; and Approve and authorize the Vice-Chairman to execute the Governing Body Resolution APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED Ayes: 5- Bredefeld, Chavez, Magsig, Mendes, and Pacheco Agreement No. 25-154 County of Fresno Page 36 co Board Agenda Item 36 O 1856 O FRE`'� DATE: April 22, 2025 TO: Board of Supervisors SUBMITTED BY: David Luchini, RN, PHN, Director, Department of Public Health SUBJECT: Retroactive Agreement with Cal OES RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: 1. Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a retroactive grant Application/Revenue Agreement including Assurances, Certifications and Authorized Agent Form with the State of California, Governor's Office of Emergency Services for the FY 2024 Emergency Management Performance Grant,for the period of July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2026 ($601,408); 2. Retroactively authorize the Director of Public Health, or Designee's previous execution of the grant award letter for the FY 2024 Emergency Management Performance Grant; and 3. Approve and authorize the Vice-Chairman to execute the Governing Body Resolution. There is no additional increase in Net County Costs associated with the recommended actions, which will allow for the submission and execution of the non-competitive retroactive grant application/revenue agreement with the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES)for the FY 2024 Emergency Management Performance Grant(EMPG). The County has received funding from EMPG since the early 1990's. The grant funds support the prevention, preparation, mitigation, response, and recovery for emergencies and disasters. The second recommended action is required as the release of funding was dependent on Cal OES' receipt of the signed award letter within twenty days. The award letter was received from Cal OES on October 28, 2024, was signed by the Authorized Agent, and submitted to Cal OES on November 4, 2024, subject to approval by your Board. The third recommended action is required to ensure the Chairman does not self-certify Cal OES' required forms. The application/revenue agreement and related documents represent the agreement with Cal OES and require 100% County match ($300,704) through staffing and software costs, which will be funded with Health Realignment funding, with no Net County Cost. This item is countywide. ALTERNATIVE ACTION(s): Should your Board not approve the recommended actions, the County's Office of Emergency Services would not be funded, resulting in a decreased level of local emergency preparedness and response coordination. RETROACTIVE AGREEMENT: The recommended FY 2024 EMPG application/revenue agreement was received from Cal OES and finalized January 21, 2025. This agreement is retroactive to July 1, 2024, and is being brought before your Board within agenda item processing deadlines. County of Fresno Page 1 File Number.25-0286 File Number:25-0286 FISCAL IMPACT: There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended actions. The maximum cost associated with the recommended application/revenue agreement is $601,408. This year's grant allocation of$300,704 is a seven percent(7%)decrease from last year's allocation, based on a decrease in federal funding provided to Cal OES statewide for EMPG. Health Realignment will cover required match ($300,704). Sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues are included in the Department's Org 5620 FY 2024-25 Adopted Budget. DISCUSSION: On February 25, 2025, your Board approved a version of the 2024 Emergency Management Performance Grant that included an out-of-date Standard Assurances document. Under advisement of County Counsel, the recommended action is being brought back to your Board for final approval and includes all necessary grant documents required by CalOES to accept funding. In order to prevent this from happening again, moving forward, the Department will make sure that all Standard Assurances are up to date. EMPG supports the County's ability to prevent, prepare for, mitigate against, respond to, and recover from emergencies and disasters, whether natural or man-made. Federal EMPG funds are allocated through Cal OES annually, as authorized by the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act and the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. The Department has received EMPG grant funds since the early 1990's. Prior grants have funded the development and updates of emergency response plans, enhancements to the County's Emergency Operations Center, emergency communications vehicle radio upgrades, and emergency response equipment upgrades. The funds will also be used for the annual maintenance and support costs associated with the crisis information management system or Web-based Emergency Operations Center(WebEOC). WebEOC provides emergency response agencies with a common access point with real time information and resource tracking, situation analysis, communication, and dissemination of information during an emergency or significant event. The recommended application/revenue agreement will become a binding agreement upon execution by Cal OES and is effective July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2026. The County of Fresno is also in the second year of a non-competitive grant funding cycle for 2023, which was approved by the Board of Supervisors on March 5, 2024. The agreement does not allow for termination without cause; however, the County and Cal OES may terminate from the agreement for non-compliance with the award assurances or terms and conditions issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The terms also state the County shall be responsible for any liability arising out of the performance of this agreement. This authorization ensures the County remains compliant with Cal OES requirements and supports efficient grant administration.

Documents related to equipment purchased must be retained for three years after it has been disposed, per 2 CFR 200.313. For indirect cost rate proposals, cost allocation plans, or other rate computation records, the start of the record retention period is dependent on whether the proposal, plan, or other computation is required to be submitted to the federal government (or to the pass-through entity) for negotiation purposes. See 2 C.F.R. § 200.334(f). In order for any cost to be allowable, it must be adequately documented per 2 C.F.R. § 200.403(_a). If the State Administrative Agency award remains open after the Subrecipient's submission of the final BSIR, Cal OES will complete any additional BSIR reporting required under the award on behalf of the Subrecipient. Closed grants may still be monitored and audited. Failure to maintain all grant records for the required retention period could result in a reduction of grant funds, and an invoice to return costs 31 Section 6 — Post Award Requirements 1 2024 Records associated with the unsupported activities. Retention Cont. If documents are retained longer than the required retention period, FEMA, the DHS Office of Inspector General, Government Accountability Office, and pass-through entity have the right to access these records as well.
