Commission adopts hazard-mitigation resolution to preserve grant eligibility
Summary
County staff asked the commission to adopt a hazard-mitigation resolution that preserves eligibility for federal mitigation grants and allows the county to file claims in the event of a federal declaration; the commission voted to adopt the resolution.
Rita Smith, identified to the commission as Miss Rita Smith, asked the board to adopt a hazard-mitigation resolution that will preserve the county's eligibility for mitigation grants and allow staff to file claims if a federal disaster declaration occurs.
"Without it we will not be eligible," Smith said, explaining the resolution is a prerequisite for mitigation-grant eligibility and related claims. A motion to approve and adopt the resolution was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. The resolution gives the chair authority to sign and preserves the county's ability to participate in future mitigation funding opportunities.
Commissioners did not debate the content at length; staff said the resolution aligns county procedures with federal grant eligibility requirements. No specific projects or dollars were tied to the resolution at the meeting; further action would follow if grant opportunities arise.
