Council OKs FEMA subrecipient grant to buy Riverside well generator with local match
Summary
Ruidoso Downs accepted a Department of Homeland Security subrecipient grant (ER5492-0004) to fund a Riverside well generator: federal award $58,544.06 with a local match of $14,626.01; staff said FEMA paperwork and quotes will determine final reimbursement.
Council reviewed and approved a Department of Homeland Security/Emergency Management subrecipient grant to purchase a generator for the Riverside well.
Staff explained the grant award is $58,544.06 with a required local match of $14,626.01. Staff cautioned the procurement and FEMA reimbursement process will require multiple quotes and engineering scope; the municipality may seek additional funding through subsequent FEMA reviews and a state-managed 0% interest loan if needed for larger disaster costs.
Council members discussed the cost estimates and the paperwork burden for FEMA reimbursements; staff said they had obtained three quotes and would proceed with scope-of-work and engineer review before final contracting. The council approved moving forward with the subrecipient agreement and the procurement steps to secure the generator and associated installation work.
