Byron council authorizes FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant application, agrees to 25% local match
Summary
At a June 22 special meeting the Byron mayor and council unanimously authorized submission of a FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program application and approved a local 25% match if the grant is awarded, City Administrator Tiffany Sandefur told the council.
The City of Byron mayor and council voted unanimously June 22 to authorize submission of an application for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and to provide the required local match should the grant be awarded.
City Administrator Tiffany Sandefur told the council the city would be responsible for a 25% local match "if the grant was awarded." Councilmember Chris Hodges moved to approve the local match and authorize submission of the application and related documents; Councilmember Alan Dorsey seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The minutes record that approval covers the local match obligation and authorizes staff to submit the FEMA grant application and all corresponding documents. The minutes do not specify the total grant amount sought or the dollar value of the 25% match.
If the application is successful, the city will be required to fund the local 25% share; the minutes do not indicate whether the city has identified the source of that match or whether additional council approval will be required to allocate funds. The council took the vote during a brief special session and adjourned at 10:10 a.m.
