Agenda Date: March 1, 2016
Action Requested: Request acknowledgement of Fire Marshal's signature on Washington State
Military Department Hazard Mitigation Grant Agreement- Amendment A
Background:
On October 30, 2013, the Fire Marshal’s Office submitted a grant application to
Washington State Emergency Management Division for funding from FEMA for
fuels reduction projects in High/Extreme Hazard areas of the county.
On January 17, 2014, Tim Cook provided the county with the information that
the grant had been selected by FEMA for further review.
On March 11, 2014, the County was informed that our grant had been
approved by FEMA and that an Environmental Determination was to be
required prior to funding. The Environmental Determination was finalized in
November, 2014.
On April 21, 2015 Board of County Commissioners agenda the Board
approved the interlocal between Kittitas County and Kittitas County
Conservation District to perform the Fuel Mitigation program.
On May 4, 2015 we received the contact documents from the Washington State
Military Department. The documents were signed by Brenda Larsen, Fire
Marshal and have been returned to the state for finalization.
On, December 14, 2015, Brenda Larsen submitted the Contract Amendment A
request to extend the contract. The Washington State Military Department and
FEMA has approved the extension to January 9, 2017.
Recommendation: We request the Board of County Commissioners acknowledge the Fire
Marshal’s signature on the Washington State Military Department Hazard
Mitigation Grant Agreement Amendment A changing the end date from
January 9, 2016 to January 9, 2017.
