I have significant experience with navigating grant program and procurement regulations, including 2 CFR 200, to complete initiatives in a way that reduces, if not eliminates, the risk of deobligation. 

I have used several grant portal/software programs to manage grant awards and disaster reimbursements, including:

• TDEM's Grants Management System (GMS) portal

• OOG's eGrants portal

• FEMA's eServices and FEMA Grant Outcomes portals

• FEMA's Grants Portal

In addition to managing my division budget and assisting with my department's budget, I have extensive experience with managing the following types of budgets:

• Professional Services Contracts (disaster and non-disaster)

• Disaster Services Contracts

• Capital Projects

• Special Events

• COAD (City Council Committee)

I have developed several grant programs to assist individuals, households, businesses, and non-profits. These include (with links to program details):

​

• A residential safe room rebate program

• A four-phase COVID-19 business assistance program: Phases 1 & 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4

• A COVID-19 non-profit assistance program

• A COVID-19 individual/household assistance program

I have led the development of a robust disaster finance process for the City of Rowlett and have assisted other agencies with the development of similar policies and procedures. Below are some sample documents that showcase this:

• Financial Management Support Annex (redacted)

• Disaster Pay Policy

• Disaster Activity Form

• Disaster Procurement Form

• Cost Tracking Sample (heavily redacted with impact to summary calculations)
