Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Resolution No. 2125.  A Resolution of the Mayor and the City Council of the City of San Luis, County of Yuma, State of Arizona appointing the San Luis Director of Finance as the designated applicant agent for the Arizona Division of Emergency Management. (Angel Ramirez, Fire Chief; Richard Jessup, Chief of Police; and Mary French-Jones, Grant Writer)

City staff recommends approving Resolution No. 2125 in order to coordinate directly with the State of Arizona Division of Emergency Management (AZ DEMA) to gain access to the grant portal and work directly with an AZ DEMA assigned technical assistance team.  The AZ DEMA technical assistance team will assist the City with an organizational profile required to submit the Request for Public Assistance.  Once the City request for public assistance is approved by both state and federal authorities, staff may submit authorized, eligible requests for reimbursement associated directly with COVID 19 expenditures on the forms provided by the federal government, along with all mandated support documentation. All requests for emergency protective measures related to COVID 19 activities directly correlated with emergency protective measures, will be reviewed by the appropriate department directors and/or managers and advanced for final authorization in accordance with federal, state or City’s protocol whichever is higher.
