Public works reports storm cleanup progress; FEMA/DECO reimbursements pending
Summary
Public Works Director Joe Smith told the committee the city finished June storm chipping but returned to two chippers per day after a July storm; he said the city did not qualify for the DECO grant and is awaiting word from the County on FEMA public assistance.
Public Works Director Joe Smith updated the committee on recent storm-response work, saying crews finished chipping from the June storm two weeks earlier but have resumed two chippers per day following a July storm. Homer Tree Service was assisting with larger branches and was scheduled to continue work.
Director Smith told the committee the city "did not qualify for the DECO grant and we have not heard back from the County regarding FEMA public assistance yet." Chairman Begley said she would support continuing Homer Tree Service while Director Smith said he would look further into Homer’s progress.
The minutes do not record an estimate of cleanup cost, a budget line for reimbursement, or a deadline for FEMA response.
