CABARRUS COUNTY <br />BOARD OF • • <br />* <br />REGULAR MEETING <br />OCTOBER 17, 2011 <br />`�iri�JJ1 /J� <br />1 <br />AGENDA CATEGORY: <br />New Business <br />SUBJECT: <br />Emergency Management - Contract for Methamphetamine Lab Clean -up <br />BRIEF SUMMARY: <br />Earlier this year, federal funding for clean -up of clandestine <br />methamphetamine labs was suspended. State resources were used for a <br />time until that funding was exhausted also. The State Bureau of Investigation <br />informed local jurisdictions that they were now responsible for the costs <br />associated with the clean -up of these labs. The Sheriff's Office approached <br />Emergency Management for assistance. We are seeking approval to enter <br />into a contract with Contaminant Controls, Inc (CCI) to provide clean -up <br />services for meth labs until State /Federal funding is restored. <br />A reimbursement program is available to refund our costs associated with <br />these clean -ups, however that process takes about 18 months to complete. <br />We request $25,000 be placed into an account to cover the cost of the clean- <br />ups with the funds to be replaced through the reimbursement program. <br />REQUESTED ACTION: <br />Motion to approve the contract with CCI for methamphetamine lab clean -up <br />and authorize the budget amendment to cover the associated costs. <br />EXPECTED LENGTH OF PRESENTATION: <br />5 Minutes <br />SUBMITTED BY: <br />Bobby Smith <br />Emergency Management Director <br />G -3 Page 111 <br />
