County accepts hazard mitigation grant to add generators at fire stations; county share $172,617.43
Summary
Carroll County will accept a FEMA/GEMA hazard mitigation grant that will add 40 kW diesel generators to county stations that lack service; total cost $690,496.71 with the county match of $172,617.43 to be paid from the county's FY21 fund.
Carroll County—s interim fire chief presented a hazard mitigation grant award that will install 40 kW diesel generators at county fire stations lacking reliable backup power.
Chief Dave Wade said the grant, applied for in May 2023 and administered through FEMA and GEMA, covers most of the $690,496.71 project cost. Carroll County's match is $172,617.43; staff recommended using the county—s FY21 fund balance for the local share.
The nut graf: Commissioners agreed to place the grant acceptance on the consent agenda. The project will provide backup power at every station currently without a functioning generator; one existing generator at Weitzburg is unserviceable and will be replaced under the project.
Ending: Staff will prepare required grant documents and move forward with procurement and installation once the county match is allocated and the grant acceptance is approved on consent.
