Summary
Representatives from the Texas Department of Emergency Management briefed the Schleicher County Commissioners on steps to produce a Hazard Mitigation Plan that would make the county eligible for two grants expiring March 31 and April 14, 2025.

County Judge Charlie Bradley and the Schleicher County Commissioners heard a presentation from Shawn Baxter and Rheasonia Hale of the Texas Department of Emergency Management about producing a Hazard Mitigation Plan that would allow the county to apply for available federal and state grants. Baxter and Hale told the court two grant opportunities are available but have approaching deadlines: one expiring March 31, 2025, and the other expiring April 14, 2025. The court took no immediate action and scheduled the item for the March 31, 2025 agenda.
The Hazard Mitigation Plan discussion addressed eligibility for grant money and the steps required to draft and submit an application. Judge Bradley was asked to be authorized to apply for the grants; the court deferred final authorization to the next meeting to allow time for additional details and staff follow-up. Vote counts were not specified in the minutes.
