    b.  Submit requests for fund drawdowns relative to payment and reimbursements of City funds expended to RF for approved grant purposes.

    c.  Receive, deposit into, and disburse RF grant funds from the 100RC Fund No. 58L.

    58L/46  46P299  Reimbursement of General Fund Costs    20,660
          Total:  $59,605

Any continued financing of the Deputy Chief Resilience Officer and Chief Resilience Officer positions beyond the end of the grant period requires identification of non-grant funds.
