During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the approval of grant terms and conditions with the Texas Division of Emergency Management related to FEMA public assistance funding for Hurricane Beryl. Tessa Robleski, the director of disaster recovery and grants, provided an overview of the standard contract process that the city must follow to access disaster funds.

Robleski explained that the contract is a necessary step for the city to receive financial assistance from FEMA, which is funneled through the state of Texas. She emphasized that signing the contract and adhering to its terms is essential for the city to begin receiving reimbursement for eligible costs incurred during the hurricane response.

Following Robleski's presentation, a motion was made and seconded to approve the item, marking a critical step in the financial recovery process for the city in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl.
