Court agrees to seek grant approval for flood-mitigation on a home in a flood plain
Summary
Magistrates discussed and approved a motion to seek grant approval for a flood mitigation project for a home located in a flood plain; members asked for deed documentation and noted prior related approvals for nearby properties.
The Clark County Fiscal Court voted to authorize staff to seek grant approval for a flood-mitigation project involving a residence in a designated flood plain.
Magistrates asked staff to provide the property's deed and noted similar prior activity for nearby parcels, including a previously approved project off Elm Lee Junction. One magistrate asked why this particular property was selected and suggested purchasing several adjacent vacant lots; the court clarified the current request is for reimbursement and to move forward with bidding the work.
The motion to allow seeking the grant was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote, with one magistrate recorded as opposing. Staff indicated bidding would likely occur in the fall and that additional documentation would be provided to the court as the project proceeds.
The action authorizes the county to pursue external funding for a mitigation project but does not itself commit county funds beyond the normal matching or reimbursement processes required by the grant.
