SUBJECT
(ALL) Authorize Application for and Acceptance of Reimbursement from the State of Texas for Disaster Assistance Expenditures Related to
Hurricane Beryl and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance Providing Interim Funding in an Amount Up to $250,000.00
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize application for and acceptance of reimbursement from the State of Texas for disaster assistance expenditures related to Hurricane
Beryl; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations to create interim funding in the Grants
Operating Other Fund in an amount up to $250,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
Due to massive power outages resulting from Hurricane Beryl, the Houston Police Department was working at 100% of its manpower in July 2024
and was unable to sustain critical law enforcement needs. At the request of the City of Houston, the City of Fort Worth provided (10) Officers and
(1) Sup'ervisor to assist with critical enforcement needs related to Hurricane Beryl.
Expenditures included personnel (regular and overtime), supplies, equipment, and travel expenses.
This appropriation for interim funding in an amount up to $250,000.00 will allow expenses to be isolated and accumulated for reimbursement. The
Police Department shall be responsible for identifying funding sources to cover expenses incurred in the event the grant funds are not received.
Any expenses incurred but not reimbursed by the State will be returned to the original Fund in the Fiscal Year open when that determination is
made. No indirect costs are expected to be recovered.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education: Texas
Division of Emergency Management
FISCAL INFORMATION ! CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, receipt of the reimbursement, and adoption of the attached
appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, in the Grants Operating Other Fund. The Police
Department (and Financial Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. This is a
reimbursement grant.
