As you may know, this is an annual grant <br />application utilizing federal funds, passed through the state to counties to ensure effectiveness <br />and quality in emergency management programs in North Carolina. <br />Funds are distributed based on a percentage of the County budget to Emergency Management <br />and varies year to year. Last year, Lee County received $24,901.59. This grant application's <br />match requirement is met through the annual salary paid to the Emergency Management <br />Director, so no additional funds are required to receive grant.

These <br />tasks are not abnormal, and when completed will enhance the emergency management program. <br />I request that the Commissioners authorize the Emergency Management Director, Finance <br />Officer, and County Manager to sign all documents associated with the grant and authorize the <br />Emergency Management Director to submit the application. <br />Lee County Office of Emergency Management <br />PO Box 1154, 225 E.
