Committee approves mitigation awards after recalculation; applicants split limited prevention funds

Jul 28, 2026

Crook County committee recalculated prevention (mitigation) awards after one applicant withdrew and agreed to distribute the county's $37,741.93 mitigation allocation across remaining applicants using the committee's chosen percentage method.

The full story

The committee reviewed mitigation (prevention) requests totaling $97,750 for the county and discussed how to allocate a much smaller mitigation award the county actually received. The Chair told members the county's mitigation funds totaled $37,741.93 and asked whether the committee should mirror the state's percentage distribution or let applicants choose how to spend award dollars. Members ultimately agreed to apply a common percentage to the adjusted applicant pool and approved the resulting awards.
