Background and Discussion:

Amendment No. 7 to Glo Contract No. 22-129-000-D405 revises the Performance Statements throughout the Planning Programs by adding three planning studies. Additionally, the General Affirmations and Infrastructure Program (increase of $1,750,000 from reallocated funds from the Planning Program) were revised. The overall grant budget was not changed.

There is no fiscal impact. The amendment is requested to increase resilience to disasters and reduce the long-term risk of life, injury, damage to and loss of property, and suffering and hardship, by lessening the impact of future disasters.
