Dear Jeanne:
Suite 200
3999 Pennsylvania Avenue
Dubuque, IA 52002
ECIA has been working with the City through the submission of an application to the Hazard
Mitigation Grant Program to the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management
(HSLEM) secure funding to assist with the updating of the City's Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan.
The Plan must be updated every five years.
The HSLEM staff requested ECIA to submit a single ECIA application that will include a total
of fifteen communities rather than submit fifteen separate applications. To accomplish this, we
need the City to approve the following enclosed resolutions:
Designation of ECIA as the program applicant
Designation of authorized representative(s) for the project
Pledge of Local Match
Please note that the local match maybe in-kind, including the meeting time of the Mitigation
Committee in development of the Plan. The Committee's time accounted for 100% of the match
in the development of the original Plan. Further, this application process will allow for the
pooling of the local match of all fifteen communities.
We request that these resolutions be approved as soon as possible so the application can be
submitted in a timely manner. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter. Please feel free
to contact Darwin Polk or me if there is any question.
Sincerely,
Mark Schneider
Community Development Director
