Officials say disaster reimbursements should cover about 75% of emergency outlays
Summary
Commissioners discussed DR-grant funds and whether corresponding expenses were budgeted; the Chair said emergency-response spending shown in the draft would be augmented and that "we're gonna get 75% of that back."
Commissioners asked whether the draft budget included corresponding expense lines for disaster-recovery/grant funds and whether those funds would be passed through to volunteer fire departments. The Chair responded that the portion reflected in the budget represents out-of-pocket emergency-response costs and said, "we're gonna get 75% of that back."
Members discussed how much of the anticipated reimbursements should be assumed in the baseline budget and whether a special budget would be needed when grant receipts arrive. The Chair said any funds received above the out-of-pocket allocations would be handled as a special budget allocation and funneled through the grant-support fund.
