Hawarden council authorizes appraisals for 10 houses as part of FEMA buyout application
Summary
The Hawarden City Council authorized participation in a FEMA housing buyout program and approved beginning appraisals on 10 properties after reviewing a provided map; action approved unanimously at the Jan. 22 meeting.
The Hawarden City Council voted Jan. 22 to participate in a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) housing buyout process and to begin appraisals on 10 houses identified on a map provided to the council.
Council Member Anderson moved to authorize the city to participate in the FEMA buyout and to begin the appraisal process for the 10 identified properties; Council Member Klocke seconded and the motion passed 4-0 (Aye: Klocke, Allen, Warner, Anderson). The minutes record that a map was provided to council members showing the target properties.
The minutes do not specify parcel addresses, estimated acquisition costs, funding match requirements, or an anticipated timeline beyond starting appraisals. The motion authorizes staff to proceed with appraisals and with the application steps required by FEMA; follow-up steps, reporting responsibilities and specific deadlines were not recorded in the minutes and are therefore "not specified."
