County briefed on $333,800 courthouse-security allocation and application timeline

Sheridan County Staff Meeting · May 13, 2026

Summary

Staff outlined a courthouse-security award: Sheridan County's project allocation totals $333,800 (90/10 split, $300,420 state portion, $33,003.80 county match). The application opens June 1 and closes Aug. 31; work must be completed by June 30, 2028.

Staff told commissioners the legislature allocated funds for courthouse security across several counties; Sheridan County's share equates to $300,420 in state funds and $33,003.80 in local match for a total of $333,800 under a required 90/10 split. The grant application window opens June 1 and closes Aug. 31, with award letters expected in September and project completion required by June 30, 2028.

Staff emphasized that the local 10% match must be cash, not in-kind. Commissioners discussed funding options—using general fund equity or dipping into courthouse reserves set aside for repairs—and staff said a final recommendation would follow once project details are firmed up.
