Body
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
The Sheriff’s Office recommends signing and executing the Reimbursement Agreement Amendment I in order to disburse funds that were allocated to EID by the Grant’s Approval Authority which oversees the administration of these funds for the prevention, response, and recovery from various terrorism/security incidents.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Approval Authority, established by the Board to administer the use of Homeland Security Grant funds, has approved the reimbursement of $6,300 to the El Dorado Irrigation District (EID) from the Fiscal Year 2014 Homeland Security Grant for the update to the Drinking Water Emergency Action Plan. The Approval Authority consists of representatives from the City of Placerville, and South Lake Tahoe, the Sheriff’s Office, Fire Districts and other eligible governmental agencies.
On November 17, 2015 the Board approved Reimbursement Agreement 223-F1611 which gave EID until January 31, 2016 to complete the update to the Drinking Water Emergency Action Plan. Due to unforeseen circumstances, EID has requested an extension of the project completion date and invoice date.

Failure to disburse funds would result in the inability of the Sheriff’s Office to administer the grant funds as approved by the State and the Approval Authority.
