Of that amount, the committee specified FEMA improvement project funding of $160,815.60 and local funding of $17,868.40.

Committee members clarified the bidding and advertisement process and asked that any major project changes be reported to the committee before bids are advertised. One committee member asked to confirm these projects were for new building work and staff affirmed the scope involved new building designs and separate advertisements because of the FEMA funding requirements.

The committee moved and seconded the recommendation and recorded it as approved. Staff will proceed with contracting steps and return to the committee if major scope changes are proposed.
