Board approves multi-hazard mitigation plan to keep grant eligibility
Summary
Supervisors approved a countywide multi-hazard mitigation plan to maintain eligibility for state and federal mitigation grants; planning recommended the plan after collaboration with local municipalities and school districts.
The board approved Resolution 25-26-056 to adopt a multi-hazard mitigation plan for Eau Claire County. Supervisor Zook explained the plan is a multi-jurisdictional document submitted to the state that helps preserve eligibility for grants and other funding for hazard mitigation. "This is a project that Tyler Esch and his crew worked on for quite a while," Zook said, stressing intergovernmental collaboration across municipalities and school districts.
Planning and development recommended the plan 5-0 and the board moved to approve the resolution; the clerk recorded the vote as 28 in favor, 1 absent. Adoption positions the county to pursue mitigation funding and to reference the plan in future grant applications.
