Court renews participating-agency agreement with Capital Area regional advisory council for emergency equipment
Summary
Washington County approved renewal of a participating-agency agreement with the Capital Area of Texas Regional Advisory Council covering hospital-preparedness program equipment custody and potential funding allocation.
The Washington County Commissioner's Court approved a renewal of a participating-agency agreement between the Capital Area of Texas Regional Advisory Council (CATRAC) and the Washington County Office of Emergency Management.
An emergency-management staff member told the court the agreement is a routine renewal. The county participates in CATRAC, which manages the hospital preparedness program funded by the state; Washington County holds some equipment under the agreement. The renewal confirms the county's responsibility to maintain equipment, not sell or damage it, and notes that if CATRAC receives funding the county could receive equipment or funding allocations in the future. The presenter said there has been no recent funding for that program.
Nut graf: The agreement maintains the county's custodial relationship for equipment tied to the regional hospital-preparedness program and preserves the county's eligibility to receive equipment or funding if state allocations resume.
The court approved the participating-agency agreement by motion and voice vote; no changes to the agreement were recorded at the meeting.
