Information
Request/Subject
Information and Discussion to update the Board on the status of the Campaign Creek Buyout Program and seek direction on proceeding with the buyout.
Background Information
In June of this year, the BOS approved a Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) application to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the buyout of property along Campaign Creek in Roosevelt, AZ.

The total project cost used in the application was $2,080,865 with a federal match of 75% and a local match of 25%.
Evaluation
The last update the County received on the program from the State was the project is being reviewed and at the state level, they feel the project will be successful. The State expects to know in the spring of 2023 whether or not the project will be funded.
Conclusion
The State of Arizona placed $3,000,000 in the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management Budget to be used for the flooding issues along Campaign Creek as a result of wildfires in the area.

This money can be used for the buyout, to pay the County's local match of the HMGP grant if successful, or for a number of other flood protection measures. These funds do not require a cost share. Funds must be utilized prior to June 30, 2025.
Recommendation
N/A
Suggested Motion
