The Roscommon County Board approved a contract not to exceed $46,215 with Crisis Ready Lab LLC to update the county Community Wildfire Protection Plan; eligible expenses will be reimbursed by the Michigan DNR up to $50,000. Work is scheduled March 1–Sept. 1, 2026.
Roscommon County commissioners on Feb. 25 approved a consultant contract with Crisis Ready Lab LLC to update the county’s Community Wildfire Protection Plan at a cost not to exceed $46,215, with eligible expenses reimbursable by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources up to $50,000 under an agreement dated Jan. 7, 2026. The motion, made by Commissioner Rex Wolfsen and seconded by Chair Darlene Sensor, passed unanimously on roll call (Ayes: Morley, Sensor, Wolfsen, Milburn).
Emergency Management Director Vanessa Varner had informed the board that multiple proposals were received for the multi‑month update process. The contract calls for work to begin March 1, 2026, and to be completed by Sept. 1, 2026. The plan update is intended to guide multi‑agency preparation and response activities for wildfire risk in Roscommon County.
The decision moves the county from planning to implementation steps; the board record specifies the consultant selection, cost cap ($46,215), MDNR reimbursement cap ($50,000), and a March 1 start date. The consultant’s scope, milestones, and deliverables were not detailed in the meeting record and will be provided by staff as the project proceeds.
