Chris,
I received a call from Kathy Callahan asking me to release the FEMA funds related to Interagency
Agreements. As per my conversation with Brad Gair Wednesday evening, funds would be
withheld until we had an acceptable agreement.
I just spoke to Brad who will now release the funds so EPA may proceed. He again reinforced
FEMA’s position that no funds would be released without my approval.
We had a brief discussion about DOH’s submittal, which has been on hold. Based on my
description of the program and its necessity from the City’s perspective, he guaranteed that the
$400, BPM would be approved.
We agreed to continue to work in partnership.
P.S. - Mark,
Brad asked if we had the indemnification letter issue resolved. I told him we had and he would be
receiving it early next week. Please get it to Chris or myself so we may satisfy that aspect. Point
of entry resolution to follow. We are getting there.
