RECITALS
A. City has received an influx of evacuees fleeing the Gulf Coast and the City
of New Orleans, Louisiana as a result of the wide spread devastation and flooding
following Hurricane Katrina's landfall in southern Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
B. City has determined that extraordinary measures must be taken to alleviate
the suffering of evacuees arriving here from the Gulf Coast seeking temporary shelter.
The influx of these evacuees to the City has created a state of disaster in the City and
therefore on September 1, 2005, the Mayor of the City of Fort Worth declared a state of
disaster in the City of Fort Worth, Texas pursuant to section 418.108 of the Texas Local
Government Code.
C. City anticipates that expenditures by City pursuant to this Agreement will
be reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency of the United States
Department of Homeland Security ("FEMA"). The Parties acknowledge to each other
that the timing and amount of that reimbursement is unknown to the Parties.
D. The purposes of this Agreement are to set out the mutually agreeable terms
and conditions relating to shelter for such evacuees (hereinafter referred to as guest or
guests) as City determines to place in YMCA's Camp Carter facility and to provide for
the payment by City of the charges for such shelter in anticipation of subsequent
reimbursement to City by FEMA.
