Title
Grant Project Ordinance - Helene Disaster Response and Recovery
body
Summary:
summary
Staff is requesting the Board to adopt the attached grant project ordinance in accordance with Section 13.2 of Chapter 159 of the General Statutes of North Carolina to establish a budget for projects related to the Helene Hurricane Disaster Response that will be reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and North Carolina Emergency Management (NCEM) Public Assistance Programs. Through its Public Assistance Program (PA), FEMA provides Federal grant assistance for debris removal, emergency protective measures, and the restoration of disaster-damaged, publicly owned facilities. The amounts reflected in the ordinance and budget amendment are estimates, to be modified as expenditures are recorded and funds are received. A grant project ordinance is requested at this time since work is expected to be a multi-fiscal year project.
