                          EARMARK DECLARATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN L. MICA

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 24, 2009

  Mr. MICA. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 2892, legislation that 
makes appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for the 
fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. I have received $750,000 in the 
FEMA, Predisaster Mitigation Account for the City of Flagler Beach 
located at P.O. Box 70, Flagler Beach, FL 32136. To the best of my 
knowledge, the funding would be used for the construction of a new EOC 
facility in Flagler Beach, FL.
  As the population of the City of Flagler Beach has grown, the demand 
for services has increased. The City Hall and Emergency Operations 
Center share the same building, creating a constrained environment when 
responding to emergency situations. The city needs assistance to build 
a new facility that will accommodate not only current staff, but also 
the emergency response teams that will use the facility to respond to 
natural disasters, such as hurricanes that frequent Florida. The new 
building will expand the necessary space for city departments which 
will more adequately and efficiently serve the people of the community.
