BEMA has been rebuilding <br /> the earthen dams within the association land and has completed fifty percent of the <br /> reconstruction. BEMA is in process of executing the building of the third dam from of the fourth <br /> dams obligated by FEMA. The fifth dam is still under appeal with FEMA for further obligation. <br /> Based on the current situation BEMA is requesting a two year extension to our current contract <br /> as we anticipate the remaining work will take us through the end of 2018. BEMA will be <br /> constructing the third dam, Willow, starting this spring and plan on starting the next dam, Sunset, <br /> this fall. The final completion of these two dams is planned for 2017. With the construction <br /> season being limited to a few months a year,the projects have taken much longer than expected. <br /> BEMA is also requesting an increase of funds as we have found the processing of reimbursement <br /> funds is taking longer than anticipated, sometimes in excess of 120 days. BEMA has a sufficient <br /> amount of remaining obligated funds to reimburse the increased requested amount. The overall <br /> budget for the five dams is over$3 million. BEMA has currently spent over$2 million and lie <br /> has advanced about$995,619. The association also raised $1.6 million with a special assessment <br /> to pay the local share(25%) of FEMA obligations. <br /> Outlined below is the current contract amount,the amount currently dispersed,the amount <br /> requested and the remaining funds available. The following is a summary of all current Project <br /> charges. <br />
