Emergency management updates: flood reimbursement work, KACO grant application and hydrant expansion planning
Summary
The county’s emergency-management official updated the court on FEMA reimbursement work for disaster 4864, a pending KACO 2025–26 insurance grant application (match and amounts discussed but unclear), floodplain training and coordination with county water on planned hydrant expansion.
Todd County’s emergency-management update covered ongoing disaster-recovery work, grant applications and infrastructure planning.
Speaker 3 described efforts to compile documentation for FEMA reimbursement under disaster declaration 4864, identifying road repairs (McKinney, Ralesnake, Corks Of Kinder, Antioch) and the volume of receipts and GPS measurements needed for damage claims. He said county staff are collecting invoices and mapping repairs to support reimbursement requests.
Speaker 3 said he had applied for a "KACO 2025–26 insurance grant" and that the application contemplates county match and potential use for cyber upgrades; the exact award amount and match terms were not clearly stated in the transcript. He reported attending floodplain coordinator training and coordinating with other local coordinators in Guthrie, Trenton and Elkton.
On infrastructure, Speaker 3 said dispatch uses a CJIS system that requires verification of access, and he reported that the county clerk’s system is maintained by Commonwealth Office Technology of Frankfort. He said he had discussed planned fire‑hydrant expansion with Todd County Water and asked fire chiefs where new hydrants would most benefit response times.
Speaker 3 recommended waiting one more day to evaluate recent light rainfall before lifting a county burn ban and said some parts of the county remained too dry to safely lift restrictions.
No formal grant awards or contract approvals were recorded in the meeting; updates were informational and staff will continue work and report back.
