disburse

Bloemeke filed complaints accusing the SBA of shortchanging Golden Ticket Cinemas and then failing to disburse those funds.

Under the Stafford Act, which governs federal disaster response, the president has the power to disburse relief to specific parts of the country after any “major disaster” — hurricanes, big floods, fires.

The county sent a cease-and-desist letter warning the foundation to stop using the county logo, then sued in February, arguing that the foundation was poised to disburse $3 million meant for firefighters.

The operation will disburse money for projects around the state.

“This was the program structure, to disburse upfront in order to quickly acquire the projects,” said a spokesperson for the department.
