Board adopts Saint Francis/Cross County hazard‑mitigation plan resolution
Summary
The Forrest City School District board voted to adopt a multi‑jurisdiction hazard mitigation plan prepared by Saint Francis and Cross counties, with the board president and secretary authorized to sign the resolution before the county deadline.
The Forrest City School District board voted to adopt the Saint Francis County and Cross County multi‑jurisdiction hazard mitigation plan and authorized the board president and secretary to sign the resolution and return it to county planners.
Superintendent Dr. Hodge presented the recommended resolution, saying the adoption aligns the district with county mitigation planning and could allow localities to pursue future grant opportunities. "I would like to recommend that the Forest City School District adopt resolution for... the Saint Francis County Cross County multi jurisdiction hazard mitigation plan," she said.
Board members asked whether adoption imposes responsibilities beyond cooperation; Dr. Hodge said the adoption is primarily alignment for mitigation planning and that it does not create immediate financial obligations but may support future grant applications. The board approved the resolution by roll call; staff said they would scan and send the signed resolution to the county planning office ahead of the stated noon deadline.
Board members authorized the president and secretary to sign and return the resolution the following business day.
