Shelby County

The agenda details the items scheduled for consideration by the Board of Commissioners of Shelby County.

This document outlines the update of the Shelby County Hazard Mitigation Plan, which addresses natural and human-caused hazards threatening the county. The plan's objectives are to minimize property damage, economic loss, injuries, and loss of life; enhance public awareness and education on hazards; coordinate inter-jurisdictional preparedness; and provide tools for decision-makers to prepare for disasters. It emphasizes compliance with federal regulatory requirements to maintain eligibility for FEMA funding and includes public participation in identifying and prioritizing hazards and mitigation actions.

The document presents two Hazus Global Risk Reports for Shelby County, Ohio. The first report details the estimated social and economic impacts of a 100-year flood scenario, encompassing building damage, essential facility performance, debris generation, and economic losses. The second report assesses the consequences of a Magnitude 5 earthquake scenario, including direct damage to buildings and lifelines, induced hazards like fire, social impacts such as casualties and shelter requirements, and overall economic losses. Both reports aim to provide multi-hazard loss estimations to support regional planning and emergency response efforts.

Key discussions included the approval of the financial report, which showed a positive LEPC account balance as of January 2019. Emergency response summaries detailed responses to an oil/sludge spill near Lake Loramie in December and a significant semi-tractor accident involving diesel and hydraulic fluid release in December. The HazMat Plan was approved and sent for concurrence in December. Updates were provided regarding the LEPC grant deadline and SERC meeting date change. Committee reports addressed article releases by Police and Health Departments, the rescheduling of the 2019 LEPC Functional Exercise to March 20, and the postponement of the PIO course. Old business focused on the ongoing legal review of a Mutual Aid Agreement between Shelby and Miami County HazMat Teams. New business included announcements regarding potential multi-county agreement expansion, funding availability for tornado siren related equipment, a City levy planned for the May ballot split between Fire and Roads, and upcoming classes such as Weather Spotters and CAMEO.

Key topics include rural land use and development, housing, population and demographics, transportation, community facilities, economic development, and natural resources.
