Lyon County approves county road-aid contract and task order to seek FEMA reimbursements
Summary
Lyon County Fiscal Court approved its annual county road-aid resolution (about $970,004) and authorized a task order with consultant Ross Dan to prepare FEMA reimbursement paperwork, with work capped to require county authorization above $10,000 and payment only if the county is declared eligible.
Speaker 1 (presiding official) told the court the county’s annual road-aid allocation this year is $970,003.98, roughly $25,000 higher than last year, and introduced a resolution to accept the road-aid program contract with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
Speaker 3 summarized the county road-aid resolution in summary form and referenced the applicable Kentucky Revised Statutes and the Cabinet’s municipal aid contract; a copy was made available in the office of the Lyon County Judge Executive. The court recorded an affirmative voice action on the resolution.
On FEMA reimbursements, Speaker 1 described a task order with the consulting firm Ross Dan to prepare and submit documentation needed for FEMA claims. He said the task order would not obligate county funds unless the county is formally declared eligible and that the consultant will not perform work exceeding $10,000 without additional authorization. “We will not pay anything unless we’re declared and we start submitting stuff,” Speaker 1 said. The court moved, seconded, and approved the task order by voice vote.
Why it matters: accepting the county road-aid contract sets the road-funding baseline for the coming fiscal year. The Ross Dan task order puts the county in a position to pursue reimbursement for flood-related costs quickly if federal disaster assistance is declared, while placing limits on consultant spending without further court approval.
Next steps: staff will file the signed road-aid contract and, if a federal disaster declaration is issued or other eligibility criteria are met, may authorize Ross Dan to proceed with claims preparation and submission.
