County weighs how to package project worksheets to speed recovery payments
Summary
County staff discussed grouping PWs so recovery items not delayed by mitigation work; officials estimated roughly $1.3 million in emergency and recovery costs already tracked and said separating mitigation items from straightforward recovery work could speed reimbursements.
During the workshop commissioners and staff discussed whether to separate mitigation-affected PWs from recovery-only PWs so the county can receive reimbursement for recovery work more quickly. Consultants warned that including mitigation items in a PW can slow reimbursement because mitigation scoping and BCA/H&H work take longer.
"My last report, minus debris was 1,300,000 in emergency and recovery," said a county staff member, citing the county’s running tally of emergency and recovery costs. Commissioners asked staff to refine those figures, add documentation (overtime, fire-department vehicle loss) to SharePoint, and clarify which sites should remain recovery-only to accelerate payments.
