Summary

Council approved extensions for debris monitoring and public assistance (disaster recovery) services; staff said there is no cost unless the services are activated following a disaster.

Newman City Council approved extensions on May 20 for the city's debris monitoring services and for disaster-recovery/public-assistance services used to secure FEMA reimbursements.

City staff said the extensions maintain the city’s ability to activate the services after an emergency and that there is no cost to the city unless a disaster occurs and the services are activated. Staff recommended processing the extensions as two separate motions to make audit trails clearer.

Council voted to approve the debris monitoring extension and then the disaster recovery/public-assistance extension; both motions carried without recorded opposition. Staff recommended the mayor be authorized to sign the related documents as needed.
