County There will be no municipal/governmental reimbursement because the threshold based on population was not met . As a County, including direct cost to MSD there was not over three million dollars in damage submitted to SEMA for review. Counties with smaller populations had a lower threshold to meet and therefore will receive State and Federal reimbursement. The University Of Missouri Extension office has an excellent flood response brochure at http://extension.missouri.edu/pdf/YourFloodedHome.pdf We are printing and it will be distributed with the door hangers when the FEMA designation is made. Fuel Contamination Summary Attached is a more complete prepared by our Fleet Manager. In summary, the September 14 floodwaters inundated the City’s Maintenance Complex reaching as far as the refueling area during the crest of the disaster. At this level, the underground fuel storage tanks were completely submerged. Although the tanks are designed to be air and liquid tight, a small quantity of floodwater entered the unleaded fuel tank and settled to the bottom. Our gasoline storage system is presently being tested to attempt to locate the source of water entry, and take corrective action. The contaminated gasoline will be removed, and the tank and lines purged of water and ethanol. The tank will be refilled with clean gasoline, and the lines again cleared of old fuel. Special filters will be installed at the pumps that are designed to slow, or stop the delivery of fuel if high concentrations of ethanol or water are detected should the problem reoccur. It is hoped our fuel station gasoline pumps will become operational before the end of this week. The diesel fuel pumps remain unaffected and available for daily operations. Mercury for fleet consulting The initial $26,000 bid from came in the first week of September and was distributed in your packets. Because we only have $20,000 budgeted, I included a revised fleet bid, for your consideration. Staff has cut $3,960 in presentation materials from the bid; the current proposal will be $23,760. I would like to include on your Oct. 27 agenda for approval. To move forward it will require a budget amendment for an additional $3,760 or I need Council feedback in advance regarding additional areas to cut. th The University City School District will be holding its 4 Community Engagement th school facilities Meetings to discuss the future of on Sat.
