Board ratifies retroactive grant-services agreement to correct oversight

Polk County commissioners approved an agreement with Jody Overcash for professional grant services effective Jan. 1, 2024. The minutes state the agreement corrects an administrative oversight: Overcash has been providing grant administration for the Judicial ARPA grant since 2024 but the referenced agreement had not been formally approved and signed by the board. "Chairman Thaxton called for a Motion. Motion was made by Commissioner Liles to approve the agreement with Jody Overcash for professional grant services effective January 01, 2024," the record shows; the motion passed unanimously.
