I spoke to eligibility in terms of the disaster mitigation and adaptation fund. The city fortunately has a number of revenue sources over and above taxation, including an electrical utility, which allowed us to build up some strong reserves in anticipation of these projects.
The $9 million that we've invested in this program so far for the City of Grand Forks is two years of taxation. It is fairly substantial and took careful planning.
At one point through our program, we were informed that improvements would not be eligible. The city ended up spending $2.9 million on the purchase of improvements on the 90 properties within the flood plain identified for acquisition.
