| | | | | | | |  | REQUEST FOR COUNCIL AGENDA
The City of Hartsville | Agenda Date:
9/8/2020 | To: City Council | From: City Manager |
Ordinance Number: Resolution Number: 09-20-03 - REGULAR MEETING | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| ORDINANCE/RESOLUTION CAPTION: | | APPROVAL TO APPLY FOR A HAZARD MITIGATION GRANT PROGRAM (HMGP) PROJECT. |
| | | |
| | | | | | | |
| BACKGROUND SUMMARY: | | Currently during severe storms or hurricanes, city staff must wait out the storm at the fire department since it has a back up generator and space is not adequate for the command staff needed during these events. Having a generator at city hall would allow for adequate spacing of departments and ensure that city functions would still continue during a loss of power. |
| | | |
| | | | | | | |
| IMPACT IF DENIED: | | If denied, command staff would continue to have inadequate space during special weather events and city hall would not be operational until power was restored. |
| | | |
| | | | | | | |
| IMPACT IF APPROVED: | | If approved, city hall would have a generator that it could use during special weather events or unforeseen power outages. The generator also allows for the necessary spacing of staff, especially during times of COVID-19. |
| | | |
| | | | | | | |
| FINANCIAL IMPACT: | | The city would need to match the project by 20%, or an estimated $28,170. This grant proposes to fund 80% of project costs. |
