Memo
Re: Resolution 36-08, Designating the City Manager or Designee as the City's
Authorized Agent to Apply for and Accept a Grant from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency for Snow Removal Purposes.
Summary
Resolution 36-08 designates the City Manager or her designee as the City's Authorized Agent to
apply for and accept a grant 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 record snowfall for the period March 7 -March 9, 2008, the City is eligible to
request funds under this program. This grant, if awarded, will provide reimbursement for up to 75
percent of the City's extraordinary costs associated with snow removal during the snowstorm that
occurred on the above dates. This resolution authorizes the City Manager or her designee to act as
Agent for this application.
The City has already completed the required notification to the Ohio Emergency Management
Agency (OEMA) of our intent to apply for assistance. Afield officer of OEMA will determine
which of the City's costs we will be authorized to apply for grant funding under the program. After
that determination is made, the City will complete the application process.
Each jurisdiction may request reimbursement for 75 percent of snow removal costs for the 48-hour
period of its choice during the designated snow emergency. We are in the process of completing
our estimate of costs for snow removal on Saturday, March 8 and Sunday, March 9. Initial
estimates of personnel costs total approximately $70,000, making the potential grant at least
$52,500.
Recommendation
Staff recommends passage of Resolution 36-08 on June 2, 2008.
