Police Resolution No. 4317
Administrative Recommendation:
City Council adopt Resolution No. 4317.
Background Summary:
The City of Auburn incurred expenses due to a severe winter storm that occurred in December 2007. The
severity of the storm caused the Governor to declare a disaster that included King and Pierce counties
and to request a Presidential Disaster Declaration. This request was granted, making available money to
local jurisdictions for reimbursement of storm related expenses. The Federal government has approved
reimbursement of 75% of local costs plus a 3% administrative fee, while the State of Washington
legislature will likely approve an additional 12.5%. The City of Auburn has tabulated costs and submitted
those to the State and to FEMA for reimbursement.
