CASSELBERRY CrrY COMMISSION Minutes of September 26, 2022— Regular Meeting Page 10 of 13 Budget Amendment 422-036. City Attorney Reischmann noted that Resolution 22-3336 also gives authority to the City Manager to extend the Declaration of a State of Public Emergency in 7 -day increments as necessary. Mr. Newlon advised that he expected to open the Emergency Operations Center and the Citizen Information Line on Wednesday, as well, but was not yet prepared to make that announcement at this time. City Clerk Donna Gardner advised that at this time basic information related to the storm was available on the City's website and social media, but most of that was general information from Seminole County. She advised the City would continue to put out general information, but as emergency operations for the City were geared up in the coming days, the information put out on the website and social media would become more focused and detailed specifically for City residents. Ms. Gardner also reminded the City Commission that a (notion to approve the Resolution should also include approval of the related Budget Amendment #22-066. Mr. Newlon clarified that the associated budget amendment was needed to provide initial funding for storm mitigation and debris collection if needed. Discussion: A brief discussion ensued regarding inquiries Commissioners had been receiving from residents who were fairly new to the City and had not experienced a large storm event previously. Commissioner Meadows commented that he was pleased that the City had decided years ago to be proactive and purchase more permanent and portable generators, which he felt was good foresight on the City's part and put the City in a better position of preparedness than some of the surrounding cities might be. The portable generators have been situated around the City in order to be deployed where needed in the event of power outages. Mr. Newlon noted that the pot -table generators would be used to support the City's lift stations to hopefully prevent sewer backups in the event of power outages, and also would be deployed to the City's major intersections to provide power to keep traffic signals at these intersections functioning. BA #22-066 Explanation of Request: This budget amendment seeks City Commission approval to provide funding for storm recovery operation for Hurricane Ian in the amount of $1,000,000.
