EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
OAKLAND COUNTY EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND PREPAREDNESS
PERFORMANCE GRANT AGREEMENT
2008
BACKGROUND
The Emergency Management program provides for the planning, response, recovery
and mitigation for natural, technological, nuclear emergency and/or disaster situations.
Originated as part of the old federal civil defense program, activities in Oakland
County now includes the Early Weather Warning Program, Emergency Operations
Center (EOC) exercises, plan development, information and education and critical
incident stress debriefing.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides the State of Michigan,
through the Michigan State Police Emergency Management Homeland Security
Division, funds through a performance grant for state and local programs. In order to
continue to receive funds, Oakland County Emergency Response and Preparedness
is required to maintain compliance with state and federal emergency management
program requirements. The State of Michigan Emergency Management Homeland
Security Division, as the designated grantee, enters into grant agreements with locials
annually.
GRANT
The purpose of the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) program is
to encourage the development of comprehensive disaster preparedness and
assistance plans, programs, capabilities and organizations. States are required to use
the funds according to Title VI of the Stafford Act. Financial and technical assistance
is provided to support efforts to improve emergency response capabilities.
Oakland County has received funding since 1972 and the revenue anticipated is
included annually in the Oakland County budget. The grant period is from October 1,
2007, to September 30, 2008, and is one-year, federal pass through funding. The
lateness in the approval is due to the Federal appropriation delay to the State.

DEPARTMENT REVIEW
Department of Management and Budget:
Approved. – Laurie Van Pelt (8/2612008)
Department of Human Resources:
Approved. – Cathy Shallal (8/22/2008)
Risk Management and Safety:
Approved. - Andrea Plotkowski (8/26/2008)
Corporation Counsel:
Just a couple corrections to the above-referenced grant. First, on page one, the Agreement should
be with "Oakland County" and not "Oakland County Response and Preparedness."
Second, on page seven, "Section XIV. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)," in the first sentence
they make reference to another grant—"FY04 HSGP." I believe that this is a typo and this grant
should be inserted instead.
Except for the above-listed two issues, there are no other legal issues to be resolved before the
above-referenced grant is executed.
Additionally, just a couple of items to bring to your attention. Nothing needs to be done; I just
wanted to bring them to your attention.
First, "Section X Employment Matter" requires that Islubgrantees are required to take
reasonable steps to ensure that LEP :limited English proficiency] persons have meaningful access
to their programs." Also, this section requires that no subcontractor, supplier, or manufacturer
appear on the register compiled by the Michigan Depaitment of Labor and Economic Growth,
i.e., the state contracts with certain employers prohibited act.
Second, "Section VII. Responsibilities of Subgrantee, Part 0" requires that the County comply
with the "Buy American Act," (41 USC 10a). – Jody Hall (8/25/2008)

manager are less than the total allocation. (This payment amount also includes the 3% eligible
