BACKGROUND:
The City of Muskogee and the Muskogee City-County Port authority are contemplating the attached agreement which would provide certain financial support for flood protection improvement for the construction of a berm behind the City's water treatment plant. This berm is necessary to mitigate flood risks. This would allow a joint application and collaboration for an out of cycle grant application to the City of Muskogee Foundation.
