Board approves grant administration contract for floodplain buyouts, contingent on company registration
Summary
Commissioners approved a professional services contract and capital project ordinance to implement an FMA 2020 flood‑mitigation buyout program for seven or eight homes, contingent on verification that the contractor is registered to do business in North Carolina.
The board approved a contract with Burterson Service LLC (grant administrator) and a capital project ordinance to manage a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FMA) 2020 buyout program covering seven to eight flood-prone homes. County staff said the applications were submitted in 2020 and that the program will enable voluntary property buyouts to mitigate repeated flooding.
Staff said the program is no-cost to the county (grant-funded) but requires the county to establish a capital project account and a contract with a grant administrator. A staff member asked for and secured board approval contingent on verification that Burterson Service LLC is registered as a foreign corporation with the North Carolina secretary of state to do business in the state; the board approved that contingent motion.
Ending: Staff will verify business registration and proceed with contract execution and capital-project accounting once registration is confirmed.
