County staff updates commissioners on FEMA appeal timeline and election board extension
Summary
Staff reported that an appeal has been submitted to the state and FEMA and outlined review timelines; staff also said the election board received an approved extension to Dec. 31, 2026, to complete a permanent project and to account for donated resources as federal cost-share offsets.
County staff told the commissioners that a formal appeal related to a public-works project has been submitted to the state and will be forwarded to FEMA for further review. Staff said the state has up to 120 days to review the appeal and submit it to FEMA; staff described a subsequent FEMA review period and that the county is now partway through the administrative timeline for appeals.
Staff also reported that the election board’s request for a 12- to 18-month extension to complete a permanent project was submitted and approved; staff said the approved new deadline to report on fund usage and project progress is Dec. 31, 2026. Staff said donated resources have been submitted and approved as a cost-share offset to the federal share of the project. The county will keep the project open and active until the final obligation or appeal process is complete.
Staff described steps to reconcile estimated repair costs with actual costs as part of the appeal process. No formal commission action or vote on the appeals or the election-board extension is recorded in the meeting transcript.
