Ware County to update hazard mitigation plan using $49,857 project with federal-state-local shares
Summary
The county will sign a subrecipient agreement to update its multi‑jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan; total project cost $49,857 with federal share $39,855.60, state $6,225.90, local $6,238.35 and a $2,492.85 subrecipient management fee noted.
County staff presented a subrecipient agreement under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program to update Ware County's multi‑jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan and ensure compliance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000.
The total approved project cost is $49,857. Federal share was listed as $39,855.60, state share $6,225.90 and local share $6,238.35; staff also identified a subrecipient management fee of $2,492.85 for administrative costs. Staff said some in‑kind contributions from county departments (attendance at meetings, staff time) may offset part of the local cost.
A county planner said the plan update supports mitigation work related to regional incidents such as fires in neighboring Brantley County and is a renewal of the county's five‑year plan. Staff recommended carrying the agreement forward so the county can sign the subrecipient paperwork and begin meetings with the Southern Georgia Regional Commission.
Next steps: sign the subrecipient agreement, schedule meetings and use documented in‑kind services where appropriate to minimize net cash outlay.
