Mount Carmel adopts Wabash County hazard mitigation plan to secure emergency funds
Summary
Mount Carmel council approved Resolution 718 to adopt the Wabash County hazard mitigation plan, enabling reimbursement of roughly $98,000 for water meter purchases and positioning the city to apply for related emergency grants.
Mount Carmel — The Mount Carmel City Council voted to adopt Resolution 718, formally accepting the Wabash County hazard mitigation plan so the city can pursue emergency grant funds. Mayor Turner said the action was required to meet grant conditions through Greater Wabash.
The council approved the resolution by roll call after a motion and second. Council members noted the city had submitted receipts totaling about $98,000 for recently purchased water meters; Turner said that reimbursement will be returned to the city and reallocated to purchase additional meters.
The adoption was framed as routine compliance to preserve eligibility for state and regional funding tied to mitigation and emergency response. The council did not discuss amendments to the plan at the meeting.
The next steps are to confirm the reimbursement and continue filing required documentation with grant administrators. No timeline for dispersal of funds was specified at the meeting.
