On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. FEMA ASSISTANCE, County/township request for snow removal operations County Engineer, Keith Berndt, updated the Commission on snow removal efforts. He said recent disaster declarations have made it possible for the county to be eligible for 75% federal and 10% state reimbursement on certain snow removal costs. Mr. Berndt is designated as the applicant agent representing the county for the purpose of obtaining Federal financial assistance. So far this season, Mr. Berndt said about $400,000 has been spent on snow removal using county road crews, and about $50,000 has been spent on contracted efforts. He asked the Commission to make a determination on whether to use additional emergency funds ($25,000 of emergency funds was approved at the last meeting) or use road funds with the hope that, regardless of where the money is taken from, a high percentage will be reimbursed in time. Mr. Wieland suggested using funds from the Road Department budget instead of depleting emergency funds because it is likely the county will be faced with spring flooding due to the excessive snowfall. MOTION, passed Mrs. Quick moved and Mr. Koenig seconded to authorize County Engineer to proceed with contracted snow removal work for both county and township roads, according to memorandum from Mr. Berndt dated January 27, 1997; the funding, prior to FEMA reimbursement, to be paid from the Road Department general fund. Discussion: Michael Montplaisir, County Auditor, informed the Board this action will require a budget adjustment at a later time. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously.
