Council to Vote on Scaling Back Sandy Emergency Spending
A shared services agreement for debris removal with Ocean County will enable Brick to cut previously approved emergency spending for Hurricane Sandy by $10.5 million.
Township Council will vote whether to cut its emergency spending associated with Hurricane Sandy by $10.5 million at Tuesday night's meeting in Town Hall.
The reduction to $7.5 million from the previously approved $18 million is due to a shared services agreement with Ocean County, which has a contract with Ashbritt Inc. to handle debris clean-up efforts, according to the Township Council's resolutions that will be up for a vote at the 7 p.m. meeting.
The township is planning to issue debt up to $7.5 million to cover the emergency spending, the resolution said. Debris removal costs for municipalities and states are typically reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency after disasters.
