The City of Auburn incurred expenses due to a severe winter storm that occurred from January 6, 2009

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
