Erin (EMA director) reviewed the LEPC and EMA budgets (page 33 and page 21), explained that hazardous-material fees collected by the state fund much of the LEPC budget, and said the county’s request will see a small net increase of $725 on county funds after higher state salary reimbursement. She proposed converting a current contractor deputy director (Garrett Murch) to a part-time county position, consolidating volunteer pay into a single line and increasing it, and adding modest funds for communications equipment and training for volunteers.
