The City of Boston?s Mayor?s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) will add an event to the departmental annual calendar on the first business day of the month of May of every year indicating that pre-risk assessment forms for the upcoming fiscal year beginning on July 1st are to be sent out to subrecipients of federal funds. The addition of this even to the calendar will ensure that all appropriate Admin and Finance staff at OEM are aware of this annual requirement and follow up with subrecipients to receive completed pre-risk assessments in advance of the new fiscal year. OEM?s Director of Admin and Finance will be the primary point of contact for pre-risk assessment-related inquiries from subrecipients, with the Assistant Deputy Chief of Administration serving as a backup point of contact. An event will also be added on the final business day of May each year to ensure that OEM staffs follow up with subrecipients that were not responsive to the initial request. OEM will also institute a policy of requiring a written response following receipt of a SEFA letter from OEM detailing the previous fiscal year?s expenditures on behalf of a subrecipient. This written response will contain confirmation that the subrecipients have recorded the same expenditures in their accounting systems as OEM reported in the SEFA letter. Should there be any discrepancy between the information provided in the SEFA from OEM and the expenditures reported by the subrecipient, OEM will schedule a meeting to reconcile any differences and resolve discrepancies within 30 days of being notified of said discrepancies. The Director of Admin and Finance and the Assistant Deputy Chief of Administration will represent OEM in this meeting with the appropriate staff from the subrecipient reporting a discrepancy. Confirmation of resolution of any discrepancies will be documented in writing and attached to SEFA letters for record keeping purposes.
