Background of Item: The United States Department of Homeland Security's National Urban Search & Rescue ("USAR") Response System has since 1989 annually funded the South Florida USAR Task Force, Florida Task Force 2 ("FL-TF2"), which is coordinated by the City of Miami ("City") Department of Fire -Rescue ("Department") as the sponsoring agency ("Sponsoring Agency") through the Federal Emergency Management Agency, State of Florida (collectively, "FEMA"), for the operation of its USAR program. FEMA and FL-TF2 operate under a longstanding memorandum of agreement, most recently updated in September 2008 (the "Sponsoring Agency MOA"), pursuant to City Commission Resolution No. 08-0504 and adopted September 11, 2008. Pursuant to Resolution No. 01-484, adopted May 24, 2001, and Resolution No. 05-0212, adopted April 14, 2005, the City Manager entered into several MOAs with participating agencies ("Participating Agency MOA(s)") setting forth those agencies' responsibilities in connection with the development and support of USAR FL-TF2, with all costs to be reimbursed by state and/or federal funding sources. Pursuant to Resolution No. 11-0297, adopted July 14, 2011, the City Manager entered into revised Participating Agency MOAs in accordance with the updated Sponsoring Agency MOA and FEMA's updated guidelines for USAR. The Department desires to revise the Participating Agency MOAs and update the list of participating agencies to consider not only long-standing participating agencies but also anticipated new participating agencies as indicated in "Exhibit A", attached and incorporated (collectively, the "Participating Agencies"). The updated list of Participating Agencies and subsequent MOA's are necessary to continue the operation of the ongoing USAR FL-TF2 Program without interruption.
