County urges release of storm funds - al.com: "BAY MINETTE — Commissioners are urging Alabama emergency management officials to release $446,000 owed to Baldwin for cleanup from last year's Hurricane Ike.

The money has been held for nearly a year while the county resolves a dispute with the federal government over $5.7 million in recovery costs from two previous storms.

Commissioners unanimously approved a letter to Jeff Byard, executive officer of the state EMA, assuring him the county has enough money in reserve accounts to pay back the Federal Emergency Management Agency, if needed."
