Lamar County Multi- Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Chapter Four Medium Priority — These actions meet at least one goal nad objective and benefits exceed costs, but resources may be a limiting factor. Plans are to implement these actions within the next three years as funding allows. Low Priority — These actions meet at least one coal and objective and benefits exceed costs, but the resources for the actions may not be currently available or they may be dependent on the completion of a high priority action. Plans are to implement these projects within the next ten years. High Cost — Existing funding levels are not adequate to cover the costs of the project and would require an increase in revenue through an alternative source, such as grant, to implement. Medium Cost — The project could possibly be implemented with existing funding but would require a reapportionment of the budget or would have to be spread out over multiple years. Low Cost — Project can be implemented at a low cost using existing budget, local staff and /or volunteers. Local jurisdictions are operating on inadequate budgets, limited staff, and with many positions being filled by volunteers. These restrictions are incorporated into the construction of mitigation actions for each jurisdiction. This resulted in actions that were primarily public education and awareness which are cost beneficial and can be done on a continual basis after initial implementation. The mitigation actions will be implemented by the City Council and monitored by the local mayors or managers. With limited resources the responsibilities will be shared between City Council, local staff, and community volunteers. County implementation will be organized by the County Commissioner Court and the Emergency Management Coordinator.
