County approves EMPG and State Homeland Security grant applications for emergency response
Summary
Emergency management presented an EMPG salary reimbursement and a State Homeland Security equipment grant; commissioners voted 2-0 to move both grants forward.
Scott Myers presented two grant items: the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) salary reimbursement and a State Homeland Security grant application for equipment to support emergency response teams. The EMPG item covers a reimbursement program that the state applies for from FEMA and that provides counties with a portion of prior‑year salaries (presented reimbursement figure: approximately $30,748). The homeland security grant will fund equipment for law enforcement and emergency response partners; the county pays upfront and is reimbursed in full under the grant terms.
Commissioner Cook moved to approve both grants; the board approved both motions 2-0. Staff noted the coroner interlocal agreement with Martin County was under separate review and that staff would follow up on any outstanding interlocal paperwork.
