Commissioners select 15% de minimis indirect rate for county Hazard Mitigation Plan grant
Summary
Staff asked the court to approve using the federal de minimis indirect‑cost rate for in‑kind administrative time on the county’s local Hazard Mitigation Plan; the court approved selecting the 15% rate by motion.
County grant staff briefed the court on progress with the local Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) and explained in‑kind administrative time documentation required by the Texas General Land Office (GLO). The staff member said the GLO is evaluating whether county submissions must be broken into multiple phases and that the county needed a formal court action to select an indirect‑cost approach.
Commissioner Matthews moved that the county select the federal de minimis indirect‑cost rate (15%) for HMP in‑kind administrative costs; Commissioner Taylor seconded. The court voted in favor and the motion carried. Staff said they will convert payroll time records and related documentation to the GLO forms and proceed with grant submission once GLO confirms phase requirements.
