SUMMARY STATEMENT:
This funding helps the City of Valdez continue to improve emergency management operations. Grant funds are used to fund the Emergency Manager position. The EMPG grant is a $50,000 grant which requires matching funds. Therefore acceptance of the grant will require the city to allocate matching funds in the amount of $25,000. Since the matching grant funds were not included in the budget, city council approval is required to allocate matching funds in the amount of $25,000 prior to submission of the grant application.
