Barren County will sign EMPG 2023 supplemental contract after court approval
Summary
The court authorized the judge to sign a supplemental EMPG 2023 contract to accept additional state emergency management funds; county was selected among nine counties to receive the supplement.
Barren County Fiscal Court voted Oct. 3 to authorize signing a supplemental Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) 2023 contract to accept additional state funding for the county's emergency services.
Garland—identified in the meeting as the speaker on the item—told the court: "The state had additional funding for 2023, and we were chosen out of 9 counties to get some of that money." The judge moved and members seconded the motion to authorize signature; the motion carried with a voice vote.
Why it matters: EMPG awards support local emergency management activities, training and equipment. County officials described this action as a supplement to a previously signed 2023 contract; no dollar amount was stated in the meeting.
Next steps: County staff will execute the contract and process the supplemental funds. The court did not specify reporting timelines or exact disbursement amounts during the meeting.
