RESOLUTION 24-06 CONTRACT FOR ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES General Manager Shadden - There is not much grant money out there right now. Pretty much all the hurricanes and money from Harvey is all gone. They are having one more round for Ike. There are few million dollars out there that were awarded to people and they never spent it so they are going to have one more round. It used to be that the grand administrator and engineering company were all picked and did all this for us. They changed the rules about three years ago to where we have to put it in the paper and go out an get a grant administrator and an engineering company and apply for these permits. We are going to throw our hat in the ring and see if maybe we can get some of this grant money. There is not a specific project put together for the grant money but we will do that after you approve this, we will get with a grant administrator and look at some type of drainage work that can be done. Vice-President Turner — Will it include my project? General Manager Shadden — You project is included in several of them, like I said it has been slow, slow, slow. Not many people getting grants at all. There are probably 50 of them that we put in for in the last year. Through Covid, Build Back Better, Hurricane Ike, Harvey and everything else that we submitted. So, we have projects sitting out there that we have asked for grant money for and nothing has come through. The only thing that we have gotten money back on was the freez
