Worth County board adopts procurement policy to satisfy FEMA documentation requirement
Summary
The Worth County Board of Supervisors approved a written procurement policy intended to meet FEMA documentation requirements and discussed updating Title VI compliance materials after a new chair is named.
The Worth County Board of Supervisors on a unanimous voice vote approved a countywide procurement policy intended to meet Federal Emergency Management Agency documentation requirements.
The policy, presented during the board’s regular meeting, formalizes the county’s approach to procurement for projects that may use FEMA funding. Board members said the policy mirrors guidance they have previously followed under state and federal rules but had not been consolidated in a county-level written policy.
Board discussion noted that the draft policy was adapted from a template used by another county. A board member asked whether the policy would apply countywide and how it would relate to Emergency Management Agency (EMA) procedures; the board heard that EMA maintains separate procurement processes for its operations. A motion to approve the policy was made and seconded; the board approved the policy by voice vote.
Supervisors also discussed Title VI documentation. The board chair said the Title VI packet will be updated once a new board chair is assigned so the county remains in compliance for federal grants. No formal action on Title VI was taken at the meeting.
The procurement policy approval was routine and part of several administrative items the board handled that morning.
