The City of Knox reportedly received less than they expected in flood reimbursement funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
During her report at Wednesday morning’s Knox Board of Works meeting Wastewater Superintendent Kelly Clemons informed members that a total of $5,900.25 was received to reimburse the department for expenses from last February’s major flooding.
However, Clemmons noted that a request for $7,867 was initially submitted and that amount was approved. She noted the funds are provided to the state from the federal level and then they’re distributed by the state. She contacted a representative of the Indiana Department of Homeland Security to find out why the awarded amount fell about $1,966 short of what was approved.
As of Wednesday morning’s meeting, she had not heard back from the IDHS.
