Committee reallocates $85,000 to position Vernon Acres generator project for FEMA match

Aug 19, 2025

Committee agreed to reallocate an existing $85,000 allocation to support installing a generator at Vernon Acres and asked staff to pursue roughly $86,000 in FEMA/state funding to cover the balance of a roughly $162,000 project; the motion passed and staff will adjust applications pending a grant decision.

The full story

Amy Oliver (Resource and community development, speaker 7) told the committee FEMA/state officials indicated about half the generator cost (~$86,000) could be available; coupled with $85,000 already allocated in local funds, the county would have enough to install a new generator at Vernon Acres.
