Board lets conservation department use county UEI to file FEMA documents
Summary
Supervisors approved a resolution allowing the conservation department to use the county's UEI number to file FEMA-related documents with the Department of Homeland Security; the resolution notes the county assumes related risks.
The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution authorizing the county conservation department to use the county’s UEI number when filing FEMA‑related paperwork with the Department of Homeland Security.
Staff explained the resolution allows conservation staff to complete federal applications and certifications tied to disaster funding; the document includes language that the county 'assume[s] all risk involved' when the UEI is used. "Whereas conservation is requesting to use the De Mo County UEI number," the clerk read. Supervisors moved to approve the resolution as edited and the board voted unanimously.
Why it matters: Using the county UEI streamlines conservation department access to federal disaster-recovery processes but attaches fiscal and administrative responsibility to the county, a point staff flagged during the discussion.
