1. FEMA Update – No Action Required

Mr. Rick Mellin, of ZHA, addressed the Board regard­ing the work that has been done around the Air­port result­ing from the dam­age done by 20” of rain over a week­end in 2014. There were 24 sites that were in need of repair and they were com­bined into two projects to stream­line the process. The Air­port worked with FEMA on Project Work­sheets to help fund the repair projects. Most of the funds that were request­ed in those Projects Work­sheets were denied and appeals are in the process for both projects.

Phoenix Con­struc­tion has extend­ed their bid for the work on the sec­ond phase while deci­sions from FEMA are awaited.
