Item/Subject: Resolve, Ratifying Application for $49,683.40 in Emergency
Management Planning Grant (EMPG) Funding from the Maine
Emergency Management Agency (MEMA)
Responsible Department: Fire
Commentary: This Resolve will ratify Fire Department Staff action in applying for $49,683.40
in FY 2015 Emergency Management Planning Grant (EMPG) Funding from the Maine Emergency
Management Agency. Due to the short notice and submission turn -around time, we were
unable to seek permission in advance of the application deadline. This grant will be used to
improve Emergency Management preparedness and response capabilities for natural and man-
made related events. This funding will also be utilized for the purpose of maintaining
Emergency Operations Plans. Additionally it supports participating in public safety drills and
disaster recovery planning. A portion of the funding will be used to upgrade video monitors in
the City Emergency Operations Center located in the Police Department Classroom. This was
reviewed and recommended for approval at the September 21, 2015 Government Operations
Committee meeting.
