Operations and amend the budget through increasing the Multi-Governmental Fund

Background: Funds have been allocated to the Georgia Emergency Management
Agency to provide equipment to be used in local jurisdictions for response to
explosive device related incidents.

protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks and other
emergencies in accordance with goals and objectives of the State Strategic Plan.
Financial Considerations: The total grant request is for $39,255 and does not
require a local match.

receive these funds.

from the Georgia Emergency Management Agency and amend the budget through
increasing the Multi-Governmental Fund 216 by $39,255 or the actual amount
funded.
