Planning Commission finds Denton FEMA BRIC grant consistent with county plans; records C‑1 determination

The commission voted to record a C‑1 determination of consistency for the Town of Denton’s resubmitted FEMA BRIC application for replacement generators at the police department and fire station.

Staff said the existing generators were outdated and unreliable and that the BRIC program provides a 75% federal match with a 25% local share. “The generators and the backup systems they have both at the police station and the fire department are old, unreliable, and insufficient for the equipment that they have over there now,” staff said. The staff recommendation was C‑1 (consistent with county plans and objectives).

After the arrival of Chairman Jeff Jackson — which created a quorum — a commissioner moved and the motion was seconded to approve the C‑1 finding; the motion passed by voice vote. Staff said the action will be entered into the state clearinghouse database as a consistency determination ahead of the BRIC application review.
