8. Request: Board approval of an MOU between APO/Sunland Center and JCBOCC to

Commissioners - 4th Tuesday · 2026-05-26 · agenda_item

Jackson County is reviewing a proposal to establish a prearranged local evacuation site. This site would serve as a designated safe location in the event of an emergency evacuation from the Sunland Center. The plan involves an agreement, known as a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), between APO/Sunland Center and the Jackson County Board of County Commissioners. This item is currently under review by the Commissioners. The project's scope would likely involve site preparation, potential minor construction or modifications to an existing facility to serve as the evacuation center, and the setup of necessary support services. This early stage presents an opportunity for local contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage with the county and APO/Sunland Center to understand potential needs and offer their services as plans develop. Early involvement could provide a competitive advantage before formal bids and permits are finalized.
