Emergency manager says budget largely grant‑reimbursed; asks for minimal increase
Summary
Emergency Manager Richard Ingram told commissioners his department’s budget is mostly grant-funded and that minor personnel cost increases account for the department’s only requested change.
Richard Ingram, Churchill County emergency manager, told commissioners his department submitted a largely flat budget with only a slight personnel increase tied to general county wage changes.
Ingram explained that emergency-management budgets are often grant-funded or reimbursed, which can cause line-item deficits in supplies while revenues catch up after reimbursements. He said the department’s reimbursements from state emergency agencies (CERC and DEM referenced in discussion) typically close those gaps in the revenue column and that he did not have supplemental requests beyond the minor personnel cost increase.
Ingram also welcomed two new commissioners and offered to answer questions about grant-reimbursement timing and how that affects line-item reporting.
