Summary
RE: Resolution No. 89-08 -Authorizing FEMA Grant Application
Memo
Resolution No. 89-08 designates the City Manager or her designee as the City's authorized agent
to apply for and accept a grant if awarded from the Public Assistance Program of the Federal
Emergency Management Agency. Because Franklin County was among those Ohio counties
declared a federal disaster area due to the high wind damage caused by Hurricane Ike on
September 14, 2008, the City is eligible to request funds under this program. This grant, if
successful, will provide reimbursement for up to 75% of the City's extraordinary costs associated
with debris removal, protective services and wind damage repair resulting from the high winds
that occurred on that date. This resolution authorizes the City Manager or her designee to act as
the agent for this application.
Each jurisdiction may request reimbursement for 75% of its costs within the designated areas
above. Staff is in the process of completing an estimate of costs incurred with the event. Initial
estimates of personnel, material and equipment operation costs total approximately $300,000,
which makes the potential grant approximately $225,000. The City has already completed the
required notification to the Ohio Emergency Management Agency (EMA) of the City's intent to
apply for assistance. Afield officer of the Ohio EMA will determine which of the event's costs
are eligible to be included in the application. After that determination is made, the City will
complete the application process.
Recommendation
Staff recommends Council adoption of Resolution 89-08 authorizing the FEMA grant
application.
