Dawson County to accept $37,502.37 FEMA reimbursement for hurricane response
Summary
Emergency management director Troy Lee asked the board to accept FEMA reimbursement of $37,502.37 for unbudgeted expenses tied to the county's response to Hurricane Pauline; staff credited for navigating federal paperwork.
Emergency management director Troy Lee asked the Dawson County Board of Commissioners to accept a FEMA reimbursement of $37,502.37 for county costs associated with preparations and response to Hurricane Pauline in September.
"I'm here today to ask the board to accept, reimbursement from FEMA for the county's response to hurricane Pauline," Troy Lee said, noting that the county had staffed up emergency services, the sheriff's department and public works during the event and later submitted the state declaration package for reimbursement.
Lee credited county finance staff and his deputy for completing the documentation and administrative work required to secure the award. The presentation did not propose additional spending of the funds; it was a request to accept reimbursement for unbudgeted expenditures already incurred.
The board asked brief clarifying questions and thanked staff for their work. No formal vote was recorded in the work session segment; the acceptance was presented for the upcoming voting session.
