The total amount of the grant is <br />$133,791.00. The funds are to be earmarked for the following categories; $109,764.00 <br />for the purchase of equipment, $18,293.00 for planned exercises, and $5,734.00 for <br />terrorism related training. As described in my report to the Board last month, we <br />considered requests from all emergency response related agencies in the county and then <br />created a prioritized list of equipment needed. The projected list of equipment and the <br />requesting agencies was presented to the Board in October. Attached you will find the <br />required budget amendment information in order for the county to receive the grant and <br />to begin to make purchases with final approval fi'om the State. This grant will work in <br />the same manner as the 2002 Terrorism Grant in that the county will purchase the <br />equipment and request reimbursement from the State when the equipment has been <br />delivered. <br /> <br /> Department of Emergency Management <br /> <br />PO Box 707 · Concord, NC 28026-0707 · (704)788-8143 · FAX (704)788-8831 <br /> www co cabarrus nc us <br /> <br /> <br />
