RE: Approving and Establishing Authorized City Representatives to submit a
draw of funds on Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency
Management Grant for the Bee Branch Pumping Station Project
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum requests the City Council to approve and establish authorized City
Representative for the purpose of being able to submit a reimbursement draw.
DISCUSSION
The City of Dubuque was awarded a FEMA Grant from both the Federal and the Iowa
Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management for the Bee Branch Gate
& Pumping Station Project. The total amount the City is to receive for the grant is
$790,000 from the State of Iowa and $7,900,000 from the Federal Government.
In order for City Staff to submit reimbursement draws on this grant, the State of Iowa
requires that there are Authorized City Representatives. Currently the City
Representatives for this Grant are Chief Financial Officer, Jenny Larson and Water
Resource & Recovery Center Director, Deron Muehring. However, this grant is currently
under the Engineering Department and is managed by Project Manager, Jim Bousley and
Grant Accountant, Anita Odobasic Gonyier. We need to adjust our City Representatives
to both Jim Bousley and Anita Odobasic Gonyier.
RECOMMENDATION
I respectfully request the City Council to approve and authorize City Representatives for
the FEMA Grant from the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency
Management Grant to be Project Manager, Jim Bousley and Grant Accountant, Anita
Odobasic Gonyier.
