Commission ratifies emergency watershed application after Carbonville flooding
Summary
The commission ratified a previously-signed application for federal emergency watershed assistance (NRCS) related to last year's Carbonville flooding, authorized an engineering firm to begin work, and discussed federal funding and a required local match.
County staff presented for ratification an application for emergency watershed assistance following a flood in the Carbonville area and asked the commission to ratify a previously signed contract. Staff noted delays in federal action tied to NRCS staffing and budget constraints but said federal funding has now been authorized and that the county must provide a local match; the engineering firm Johansen Tunnel Engineering was reported as the selected contractor.
A commissioner commented that the contract had already been signed and that ratification was to confirm the county’s prior signature; the commission approved the ratification by voice vote. Transcript wording about dollar amounts and match percentages was unclear in places; the transcript records a federal authorization figure and a required 25% match but the exact local match amount is not clearly stated in the record.
