Body
CITY PROPOSAL:
RESOLVED, that the proper city officials are hereby authorized to execute an agreement with St. Louis County, substantially in the form of attached Exhibit 1, and accept $47,662.88 from St. Louis County to partially reimburse the City for its expenses incurred pursuant to the City’s local cost-share of the United States Department of Homeland Security Advance Assistance Hazard Mitigation Grant, said copy attached hereto at Exhibit 2 and approved by city council as resolution 21-0231; and
RESOLVED FURTHER, that monies received under this agreement will be deposited in and paid from fund 225-125-1815-STRM1018 (Disaster Recovery Fund, Finance, Storm Surge October 2018, Surge October 10, 2018).
Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes a cost-sharing agreement between the City and St. Louis County in which St. Louis County reimburses the City approximately 50 percent of the costs the City incurs in completing hazard mitigation projects pursuant to the United States Department of Homeland Security Advance Assistance Hazard Mitigation Grant. The federal amount awarded pursuant to the grant is $285,977.25. The total local cost-share (“local match”) requirement is $95,325.75. The City and the County have agreed to split that cost 50/50. This agreement is designed to avoid duplicative expenses that each party would incur if completing the hazard mitigation projects separately.
