Board accepts $4,758 EMPG award to support emergency management position
Summary
Monroe County accepted a $4,758 FY2025 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) to help fund the emergency management director position; interim director Bradley Smith said the federal share has declined over time.
The board approved accepting FY2025 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) funding of $4,758 to support the county's emergency management director position. Interim director Bradley Smith described EMPG as an annual grant historically covering a larger share of the director's pay but declining recently; "in the past it was up to 50%... it's dwindled down to about 8% now," he said.
Commissioners moved and seconded the motion and approved the grant acceptance by roll call. The grant requires no local match and will be applied to emergency management staffing costs for the county.
