Re: Resolution No. 17-03, Designating the City Manager as the City's Authorized Agent
to apply for and accept a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency
for snow and ice removal.
SUMMARY:
Resolution No, 17-03 designates the City Manager 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 record snowfall, 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 snow and ice
removal during the snowstorms that occurred from February 14-17, 2003,
The City is required to notify the Ohio Emergency Management Agency (EMA) of our intent to apply
for assistance within 30 days of the disaster declaration, or by April 13, 2003, in this case. At that time,
we will be contacted by a field officer of the Ohio EMA to determine for which of the City's costs we
will be authorized to apply, After that determination is made, the City will have sixty days to complete
the application process.
Each jurisdiction may request reimbursement for a 48-hour period of its choice during the designated
snow emergency. Our initial estimate of our costs for snow and ice removal on Sunday, February 16
and Monday, February 17 totals approximately $40,000, making our possible grant approximately
$30,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
We recommend passage of Resolution 17-03.
