All council members were present except Councilmember Heck. The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and a procedural motion to waive the reading of ordinances and resolutions.

Opening and Procedural Matters

• Mayor Steve D'Amico (per the agenda) presided. A motion was made and seconded to waive the reading in full of all ordinances and resolutions presented for adoption at the meeting. The motion passed with six votes in favor and none opposed.

Discussion Items

• Item 1: Resolution No. 2024R-52 – Designation of Authorized Representatives for DEMA/FEMA Programs
  • The agenda listed this as a discussion and possible action item. City staff requested approval to update the city's authorized representative on file with the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (DEMA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
  • The city has a pending obligated grant package from DEMA/FEMA for COVID-19 disaster DR-4524, Project Worksheet CV-129, in the amount of $61,462.33. The current authorized representative on file, Rudy Vera, served as Finance Director until his retirement in June 2023.
  • Staff proposed designating Toby Cotter, City Manager, as the Authorized Representative and Robert Drexler, Finance Director, as the Alternate Authorized Representative to facilitate grant applications and disbursements. The fiscal impact was reported as none for initial costs, future ongoing costs, physical impact, or residual costs.
