FROM: Amy Robertson, Finance Director
Jane Howington, City Manager
SUBJECT: FY2012 FEMA Grant acceptance and budget appropriation
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2011
BACKGROUND: During the spring of 2011 high flood waters caused extensive
erosion along the banks of the Stillwater River and in several specific sites at Buffalo Hills Golf
Course and Lawrence Park. The city conducted inspections of this erosion and subsequently
declared the city a disaster area for purposes of pursuing FEMA funding to remediate this
erosion.
FEMA representatives conducted site inspections and approved the pre -qualification for a grant
assistance submittal for remediation dollars. Said application was submitted and approved with a
total funding amount of $424,970. The city is required to provide a 25% match, some of which
can be in the form of in -kind services while other portions of the match can include the
emergency work already completed to stabilize the eroded banks.
This FEMA award will be used to conduct permanent bank stabilization work and in certain
areas will include the "lift and willow" methodology that was employed in a test site last winter.
RECOMMENDATION: Adoption of Resolution accepting the grant and appropriating the
project in the amount of $424,970.
FISCAL EFFECTS: $424,970.
