Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves the second amendment to a grant from the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency to the Department of Finance originally approved by Resolution No. RS2021-876. This amendment increases the amount of the grant by $85,501.89, from $1,054,523.07 to $1,140,024.96 and decrease the local cash math by $85,501.89, from $142,503.10 to $57,001.21. The effect of this amendment is to increase the funding from the federal government from 75% to 90%, which decreases the funding needed from TEMA and the Metropolitan Government. The grant budget and federal award identification worksheet would be replaced to reflect this change.
This grant is used to provide public assistance pursuant to Presidential Disaster Declaration number FEMA-4450-DR-TN for costs incurred for severe storms, straight-line winds, and flooding on March 2-4, 2020.
