Earnst stated that the City and the Flood Zone Control District are looking at how to fund some of the major repairs they anticipate will occur in the future. Earnst explained that the Corps of Engineers provides a grant for 75 percent funding for the protection of public property, and the project must be considered an emergency. However, since it takes the Corps about a year and a half to get to the work, the City has chosen to do a portion of the work right now. A grant request for the remainder of the work will be forthcoming in the future.
