Consider and take action to authorize the City to formally accept the award of FEMA Public Assistance Grant 4798 for eligible response, recovery, and restoration costs related to Hurricane Beryl damages, and approve the execution of all necessary documents to administer the grant.

Hurricane Beryl caused significant damage within the City, resulting in widespread impacts to public facilities, infrastructure, and essential services. Following the disaster declaration, the City became eligible for federal recovery assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Public Assistance (PA) Grant Program.

The FEMA PA Grant provides reimbursement for eligible response and recovery costs incurred due to the storm, including emergency protective measures, debris removal, and the repair or restoration of public facilities damaged by Hurricane Beryl. Acceptance of this award will allow the City to access federal funds that will aid in covering these disaster-related expenses, reduce the financial burden on local resources, and support the community’s long-term recovery.
