Hancock County supervisors on June 2 approved a final agreement with ERC Emergency Services for debris removal, a pre-storm contract intended to provide rapid response after qualifying storm events.

County staff explained the procurement is intended to secure debris-removal capacity and noted the county is confirming rates and contract terms in light of recent inflationary pressure in the industry. The board approved the final agreement and authorized staff to proceed with contract execution.

The motion passed 5-0. The minutes indicate this selection completes the county’s pre-storm contracting process for debris removal; staff did not provide detailed line-item pricing in the public reading of the motion at the meeting.
