E.2. Resolution # 08-19-20, Designation of Applicant's Resolution for Non-State Agencies (FEMA Disaster Relief)
Quick Summary / Abstract:

Resolution # 08-19-20 Designation of Applicant's Agent Resolution for Non-State Agencies, is presented to the Governing Board for approval and action.

Rationale:

The FEMA disaster relief is available to agencies during the declared disaster.  The funding is available for incremental costs above normal expenditures related to our Disaster recovery.  This would include sterilizing the buildings, meal distribution and distance learning.  As the State has already provided some relief funds through SB117, it is possible that our needs will be fully funded through the State funding.  If this were the case, we would not be able to receive additional funding through FEMA. However, we will keep the application and process open to ensure we are reimbursed to the maximum level allowed.

 
Recommended Motion:
Resolution # 08-19-20 Designation of Applicant's Agent Resolution for Non-State Agencies, is presented to the Governing Board for approval and action.
