12. Other Matters  
William M. Wolfson, Chief Administrative and Compliance Officer, gave a verbal  
report regarding GLWA's intent to submit an application with the Federal  
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for a BRIC (Building Resilient  
Infrastructure and Communities) Grant, which is due this Friday (January 14,  
2022) and wanted to alert the Committee, as there would be a match if GLWA is  
awarded the Grant.  
Mr. Wolfson stated that GLWA is requesting funding for the Oakwood District  
Intercommunity Relief Sewer Modification at Oakwood District, which is  
contained in our CIP, Project No. 222001, and the total estimated project cost is  
$54.4 Million. If awarded a BRIC Grant for this project, GLWA would be obligated  
for 25% cost share of the project, and that 25% cost share, if we receive the Grant  
for the full amount of the project, would be $13.8 Million.  
Chairperson Hendrix requested a Motion to Receive and File Mr. Wolfson's  
report.  
Motion By: John J. Zech  
Support By: Brian Baker
