Becker, Finance Director DATE: February 18, 2009 SUBJECT: 2009 Ice Storm Damages Recommendation Staff recommends the attached budget amendment to appropriate funds for costs associated with the ice storm disaster which the City experience beginning January 26, 2009. The staff also requests permission for the Mayor to authorize the Finance Director to advance up to $1,000,000 on a temporary basis from the General Fund to the Replacement and Disaster Relief Fund if necessary. This advance is to be reimbursed when sufficient funds are available in the Replacement and Disaster Fund. Background As we are all well aware, the City sustained extensive damage from an ice storm which began on January 26, 2009. The initial costs to meet this emergency were absorbed by the City's operating budgets which must be replenished to continue to provide essential City services throughout the year. In addition to these costs, the costs to remove and dispose of debris will be substantial. The effect of this storm has been declared a national disaster by the Governor and the President allowing both FEMA and the Arkansas emergency management assistance funding to be made available in the approximate ratio of 75% Federal, 12.5% State, and 12.5% Local. In addition to the appropriation request of $4,000,000, staff requests that the City Council authorize the Mayor, at the request of the Finance Director, to advance up to $1,000,000 from the General Fund as a temporary loan to the Replacement and Disaster Relief Funds if necessary to address cash flow needs. This temporary loan would be repaid when reimbursement funds are received in the Replacement and Disaster Relief Fund from the appropriate State of Federal Agency. If and when a General Fund loan (advance) is made, the City Council will be informed at the next available agenda session and the status of that loan will be updated at each City Council Agenda Session until the loan is fully repaid. Budget Impact The impact of this budget amendment is to appropriate an additional $4,000,000 to the Replacement and Disaster Relief Fund with the City's estimated cost to be $500,000. RESOLUTION NO.
