Uintah adopts Weber County pre-disaster mitigation plan after correcting water-tank figures
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 25-0805 to join the Weber County pre-disaster mitigation plan; Council Member Bell identified and corrected the listed water-tank capacities before adoption to preserve FEMA grant eligibility.
Uintah City Council approved Resolution 25-0805 on Aug. 19, adopting the Weber County Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan with a factual correction to the listed water-tank capacities.
Mayor Cutler explained that the county requires participating cities to provide a mitigation plan setting out responsibilities and actions for disasters. Council Member Bell said she found a mistake in the plan's water-tank volumes and asked that the record show two tanks of 375,000 gallons and one tank of 275,000 gallons. Council Member Combe commented that completing the county process is necessary to pursue FEMA grants. Council Member Bell moved to adopt the resolution with the correction; Council Member Patterson seconded the motion and the council voted unanimously to adopt the plan with the corrected tank figures.
Why it matters: Correcting water-infrastructure figures in the plan is important for accurate emergency planning and for maintaining eligibility for federal disaster-preparedness grants.
