(KNZA)--Brown County will contribute more toward the county's hot meals program.

At the request of Services for the Elderly Director Wanda Davis, the Brown County Commission voted Monday to increase the portion the county pays for the program from $2.30 to $3.00.

In other business, the Commission adopted a resolution that extends the local public health emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic for a period of 60 days unless its terminated earlier. It has been in place since March 16, 2020.

County Emergency Management Director Don Pounds requested use of American Rescue Plan funds awarded to the county for the construction of a new building for storage of COVID-19 supplies, the Rescue Squad and an Emergency Operations Center.

Pounds also discussed a proposed resolution establishing flood plain management regulations for unincorporated areas of the county. The Commission voted 2-1 to submit the resolution to the state for approval. Commissioner Bill Pollock cast the lone dissenting vote. The resolution is needed for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program.
