Background Summary:
The City of Auburn incurred expenses due to a severe winter storm that occurred from December 12,
2008 through January 5, 2009. 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 expenses and the State of Washington
legislature has approved an additional 12.5% reimbursement. Expenses are being tabulated and
submitted to the State for processing.
