From: David Gibbs, Emergency Management Coordinator

Date: June 5, 2003

SUBJECT: Ordinance 2003-19-04, Appropriating funds to be received from the State of Alaska Division of Emergency Services to Reimburse the Borough for costs incurred in responding to the flooding occurring between October 23, 2002 and November 12, 2002.

Ordinance 2003-19-04 appropriates the money the Borough has received notice of award for from the State of Alaska Division of Emergency Services. Funding sources consist of 75% passed-through funds from FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and a 25% State match. The revenue received will reimburse the Borough for costs incurred in responding to the flooding occurring between October 23, 2002 and November 12, 2002.

The ordinance includes funding for costs incurred by the Roads Service Area, South Peninsula Hospital, and the Maintenance Department in responding and repairing Borough infrastructure damaged by flooding. The Borough has identified $1,146,646.62 of costs incurred responding and recovering from the flooding. To date projects totaling $584,840.44 have been approved and awarded with $561,806.18 awaiting final approval and award.

The intent is to appropriate by Ordinance 200319-04 $584,840.44, the projects currently approved and awarded, and propose an amendment to Ordinance 2002-19-45 should any of the pending $561,806.18 of costs be approved and awarded prior to Assembly action on this ordinance. Should no additional costs be approved and awarded before assembly action on this ordinance, a separate ordinance shall be prepared and brought forward at the time of approval and award.
