Dave, director of public works, gave the Public Works Committee a summary of the department’s response to the Aug. 9, 2025 flood, praising staff performance and listing contracted services and hauling costs incurred during the event.

The summary matters because it documents departmental costs and resource commitments that could be submitted for federal aid and that affect departmental overtime, equipment use and contracted services totaling roughly $220,000.

Dave thanked crews and contractors for emergency work during the flood response and said many employees continued working despite personal impacts. He listed contractors and partners who aided cleanup, including Fisher Trucking (additional hauling when the normal drop‑off was affected), Anderson Landscape and Maintenance, Eagle (container rentals), and Waste Management for landfill access. Dave said contracted services related to the flood totaled about $220,000.

Staff noted the city is preparing reports for possible FEMA reimbursement. “FEMA, we haven’t received any request yet,” Dave said, adding the city is compiling contracted services, labor hours and equipment hours in its reporting system so it can submit claims according to FEMA rates. Staff praised AssetWorks, the city’s work‑order and asset system, for recording labor, equipment and material costs during the response and speeding up reimbursement documentation.

Committee members asked whether FEMA funding would apply; staff said reporting is underway and that the emergency operations center (EOC) and other staff are coordinating submission. No specific FEMA award or amount was reported at the meeting.

The item was informational; no motion or budget action was recorded. The committee moved on to adjourn the meeting after the report.
