The Hunt County Commissioners Court held a regular session on June 27, 2025, where key discussions focused on emergency management planning and budget considerations. The meeting highlighted the ongoing efforts to refine existing emergency management plans and the associated costs.

Commissioners expressed concerns about the steep costs related to hiring external consultants for plan revisions. One commissioner suggested that the emergency management coordinator's office could potentially lead the project, reducing the need for outside assistance. This proposal aimed to streamline the process and cut expenses, as the current budget allocated $25,000 for these services.

Further discussions revealed that the county is exploring ways to lower costs by increasing the amount of work done internally. A representative noted that if the county could handle more tasks, it might significantly reduce the overall expenses, potentially down to $100,000 from an initial estimate of $200,000.

The court also discussed the timeline for emergency management plans, confirming that the current plan is valid until August of the following year. The commissioners are actively seeking proposals from various companies to ensure they receive comprehensive information before making any decisions.

Overall, the meeting underscored the county's commitment to effective emergency management while being mindful of budget constraints. The next steps involve gathering detailed proposals to inform future decisions on the management plan's revision.
