Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:
Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.
Shortly after the onset of the pandemic, the City submitted a claim to the Colorado Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (CDHSEM) for FEMA public assistance funding related to the pandemic. The majority of the claim incorporated requests related to City programs and services, like emergency sheltering, personal protective equipment, needs at the airport, and emergency operations center functions. Funding for expenses specific to hospital operations were also submitted, approved, and in-turn sub-awarded to Denver Health and Hospital Authority (DHHA).
Under FEMA’s Covid-19 Public Assistance program, grantees may claim management costs to account for certain administrative expenses incurred while managing the program. This allows the recipients of funding to charge administrative payroll to the grant for those individuals directly managing the program as well as to include certain professional services contracts, such as the costs associated with the City’s FEMA consultant. With Resolution No. 1241, Series of 2021, City Council approved an amendment to the City’s agreement with CDHSEM to add these management costs as additional scope to the agreement. This resolution request approves an amendment to the sub-award agreement with DHHA to add $201,480 of management costs as additional scope to the existing sub-award agreement.
