Director Chelsey Loeffers requested that the agenda order be modified to start with the “Other
Business” item for the Event Center Contract. Agenda order amendment was approved.
Event Center Contract Renewal
Chris Whitsett from the Sheriff’s Office presented that the terms of the Emergency Management
contract with the Event Center have changed slightly starting July 1, 2022.
Emergency Management has a contract with the Event Center to have priority use in case of a mass
vaccination scenario. Currently FEMA reimburses us 100%, however, starting July 1st, FEMA will
reimburse us at 90%. The County will be responsible for the 10% of the monthly bill which equals
approximately $390. Since we are not in a declaration of emergency, Emergency Management does not
have the authority to authorize this spending.
There was discussion about the contract. The BOCC agreed to fund the 10% of the monthly bill.
