Emergency-management director asks to pursue FEMA and SHSP grants for radios, trailer and mitigation plan
Summary
An emergency-management official asked commissioners for permission to reapply or apply for multiple reimbursable grants, including multiband radios (~$98,041), a command trailer (~$108,010) and a multi-hazard mitigation plan where the grant covers $10,000 of an estimated ~$19,750–$28,000 cost.
An emergency-management official updated the board and requested permission to apply for three grant opportunities: SHSP radios, a new command trailer, and a multi-hazard mitigation plan. All three grants are reimbursable; the county would have to pay costs up-front and submit for reimbursement afterward, the presenter said.
The presenter gave vendor quotes during the discussion: "...the quote that I have currently for radios is for 58,000 radios, which are the multiband radios...That new quote is $98,040.90," and later said, "the new quote just for the trailer is $108,009.95." For the mitigation plan he supplied two quotes and said the grant will cover $10,000 with the remainder to be funded locally if pursued. Commissioners asked about reimbursement timing and cost responsibilities; the official said reimbursement typically takes a couple months after invoices are submitted.
