Ordinance 203-2644 was passed by the Council, signed on July <br />28th, 2003, authorizing the City Manager to sign the sub-recipient awards. <br /> <br />This ordinance change is an update as TEEXS will not be administering the State Homeland <br />Security Grant Programs. The Governor's Division of Emergency Management (GDEM) will <br />now be administering the programs and be issuing the sub-recipient awards. <br /> <br />Action Required bv Council: <br /> <br />Authorize the City Manager to sign sub-recipient agreements to receive grant funds from the <br />Governor's Division of Emergency Management. <br /> <br />Approved for City Council A2enda <br /> <br /> <br />~te~f.}jj0 <br /> <br />Id-5 -{)5 <br /> <br />Date <br />
