Magoffin County approves interagency agreement to invoice Knott County for mutual-aid snow response
Summary
Magoffin County approved an interagency agreement enabling the county to provide mutual-aid equipment and personnel to neighboring counties and invoice Knott County so the state can reimburse Magoffin County for its assistance.
Magoffin County commissioners approved an interagency agreement with Knott County that allows Magoffin County to send invoices for emergency services provided under mutual aid. Speaker 1 told the meeting the arrangement would let Knott County forward the invoice to the state emergency management office so Magoffin County receives reimbursement for services and is not left covering costs directly.
The action followed discussion of current severe winter and high-water conditions: Speaker 1 said more than 40 county roads were virtually unpassable and described a request for mutual aid from the state emergency management director, Eric Gibson. County staff said they expect to make equipment and personnel available — including a truck and tow/haul capacity — once local roads are cleared.
After motions and seconds were offered, Speaker 1 called the vote and stated the motion carried. No roll-call vote or named tally appears in the transcript.
