Pursuant to Iowa Code, there is established in each county an emergency management commission to provide direction for delivery of the emergency management services of planning, administration, coordination, training and support for local governments and their departments.  The Polk County Emergency Management Commission exists and operates from representatives of several metropolitan cities as well as Polk County. The budget for the Commission is funded through an annual per capita allocation funded from the city and county general funds.  The original 28E Agreement was approved in 2005, with renewals in 2008 and 2020.  The proposed renewal extends the current agreement at $0.50 per capita. The term dates have been updated to reflect the next three fiscal years. The most recent federally certified population numbers have been updated as shown in Attachment #1 of the agreement.  The renewed agreement will officially begin on July 1, 2023. 

The term for this 28E is effective for FY2024 through FY2026.  Members fund Commission administration on the basis of a $0.50 per capita annual allocation, according to the most recent population estimates provided by the Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).  Ankeny's estimated population is 67,887, which makes the annual allocation $33,943.50 per year.
