Emergency management seeks flood‑mitigation bids, approves hazardous‑materials grant application; BHEC to present power‑shutdown plan
Summary
Emergency Management presented an RFP scoping for a Flood Mitigation Grant, approved applying for a $7,500 Hazardous Materials Plan grant (county share $1,850 from LEPC), and scheduled Black Hills Energy to present an emergency power‑shutdown plan at the June 25 meeting.
EMS Director Steve Esser told the Commission the Flood Mitigation Grant is in the scoping phase and that proposals should be submitted to his office; bids will be opened publicly at the Auditor’s Office at the June 25 Commission meeting. Esser presented a Hazardous Materials Plan grant opportunity for $7,500 and said the maximum county cost would be $1,850 to be paid from the LEPC fund; the Commission approved applying for the grant (mover Mark Hartman; second Craig Hindle; vote unanimous).
Esser raised concerns about a draft Emergency Manager Class B SDRS retirement proposal that would increase the SDRS contribution from 6% to 8% for 911 dispatchers and EMS staff, calling the draft "too hurried" and in need of revision before implementation. Esser also presented an update on a Black Hills Energy emergency power‑shutdown plan; BHEC representatives said many parameters must be met before shutdown and will present details and answer questions at the June 25 meeting.
