RICKSCOTI Governor April 25, 2014 Ms. Victoria Bateman, Director of Financial Services Cape Coral, City of P.O. Box 150027 Cape Coral, Florida 33990 BRYAN W. KOON Director FEMA-1539-DR-FL FIPS No. 071-10275-00 Re: Third Request for Reimbursement of Overpaid Funds in the amount of $123,210.49 Dear Ms. Bateman: The Florida Division of Emergency Management (Grantee) has performed a financial reconciliation of DR-1539, Hurricane Charley. This reconciliation has found that $123,210.49 have been overpaid due to project underruns or deobligations. The Disaster Relief Funding Agreement (attached), ARTICLE XI, Reimbursement of Funds, specifies that the "Subgrantee shall reimburse to Grantee the sum by which the total disbursements exceed the eligible costs within forty-five ( 45) days from the date Subgrantee is notified of such determination." When the Federal Emergency Management Agency reduces funding for a Subgrantee's projects, those funds are immediately withdrawn from the Grantee's account (Smartlink). Repayment of these funds is critical to the overall Public Assistance Program. If not repaid timely, there may not be enough available funding to cover the eligible work of other subgrantees. We understand that you have an active appeal on some of the projects involved in this overpayment, with a determination still pending from FEMA. Unfortunately, due to FEMA's immediate withdrawal policy (above), we have no choice but to seek repayment of these funds immediately. In the event of a favorable determination on the appeal, DEM will process a payment upon reinstatement of funding by FEMA. We have enclosed documentation supporting our findings and invoice number CC 1539-R37-3-A is our formal request for repayment. We request that you process the invoice attached within the standard forty-five (45) days per State guidelines.
