HCHA meeting March 2, 2021 <br />disasters, right, nationally, thankfully the nation didn't experience any that were <br />federally declared and so, you know, most of us class of grantees received the <br />CDBG mitigation funds, in our case 6.8 million, out of that unallocated funds, <br />right, but we were unique among our peers and that we also received <br />additional disaster recovery grant, so that kind of led to the 23 million and really <br />it was really the product of the partnership of with the congressional delegation <br />but also the reality that one of the key indicators for how HUD allocates the <br />CDBG Disaster Recovery funds is based on damages whether that be individual <br />damages, FEMA assessment for public infrastructure that was damaged or <br />destroyed and as many of us are aware even that side was incredibly roller <br />coasterish in terms of us working with FEMA as a federal partner to understand <br />what our total damage estimates were. <br />Lee Loy: Thank you for that fantastic explanation and Kauai is also included in <br />this list so even for Mr. Richards and Ms. Kimball just reaching out to our partners <br />over in Kauai and Kauai County and letting them know, you know, we need to <br />work more collectively to grab some of this money off the table, 2019 they had <br />a flood, we had lava and this next cycle, I mean, everybody's in CARES, you <br />know, so this money will really be critical for us to springboard a little forward an <br />close that gap. I just had one other note, on page 16, and I think this is more of <br />a staffing question, the section starts with specific conditions, insert base on risk <br />tool, I think it was like a prompt, am I reading that correctly or does that prompt <br />belong there? <br />Le: Are you speaking about page 16? <br />Lee Loy: Yes. Specific conditions, insert based on Risk Tool. <br />Kierkiewicz: She's referring to the title. Is that supposed to be there or is that a <br />mistake? <br />Le: I believe that is part of the HUD template for its tool, I don't those five words <br />have any specific bearing on our ability to administer the program. <br />Lee Loy: Thank you, thank you so much I really appreciate the time, Chair, I <br />yield. <br />Kierkiewicz: Thank you, any other questions? Mr. Kanealii-Kleinfelder you have <br />the floor. <br />Kanealii-Kleinfelder: Thank you ma'am. Morning guys, thank you for being <br />here. Just couple questions for you, I'm looking over the General Terms and <br />Conditions for the grant agreement, looks like we can use up to five percent for <br />administrative fees and costs, is that correct? <br />Page 7 of 19 <br />
