Background/Discussion

  • The City of Council Bluffs has been identified as an entity that is eligible for FEMA reimbursements due to the flood event in March 2019.
  • The City received a Pre-Award Risk Assessment from the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division (HSEMD). A result of the Pre-Award Risk Assessment was a request for additional documentation to improve the City's risk level to their organization. 
  • While the City's current procurement policy is not deficient for regular purchases, it lacks some terminology that FEMA specifically looks for to gauge compliance with federal procurement standards.
  • The verbiage for the attached resolution was provided by an employee of the HSEMD from the state of Iowa to ensure federal compliance. 
Recommendation
