Payment to town of Silver Cliff to rebuild its public safety building
Under current law, DMA may make payments from a state disaster assistance appropriation account to local governmental units for the damages and costs incurred as the result of a disaster if the disaster meets one of two of the following requirements: 1) the disaster is not eligible for other funding related to a presidentially declared “major disaster,” or 2) DMA determines the disaster meets a certain per capita impact indicator. Additionally, the entity receiving the grant is required to pay for 30 percent of the amount of damages and costs resulting from the disaster. This bill requires DMA to provide a $1,000,000 payment in fiscal year 2023-24 from the same appropriation to the town of Silver Cliff for the rebuilding of the town's public safety building that was destroyed by a tornado, and exempts the Silver Cliff disaster from the program's eligibility requirement and 30 percent payment requirement.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 9131.
Nonstatutory provisions; Military Affairs.
(1) Payment to town of Silver Cliff to rebuild public safety building destroyed by a tornado. Notwithstanding the requirements under s. 323.31, from the appropriation under s. 20.465 (3) (b), in the 2023-24 fiscal year, the department of military affairs shall provide a payment of $1,000,000 to the town of Silver Cliff for the town to rebuild its public safety building that was destroyed by a tornado.
(End)
