Commissioners approve $2.6 million grant and local match to fund jail and Cedarville projects
Summary
Greene County commissioners approved transfers to bring a $2.6 million state grant and a $578,000 local match into county funds and place those dollars into project accounts for a jail project and a Cedarville project; the county will be reimbursed by the state as expenses are incurred.
Greene County commissioners on Aug. 28 approved transfers to bring a $2,600,000 state grant and a $578,000 local match into county accounts and place the funds in two development project funds — one for a jail project and one for a Cedarville project.
County staff told commissioners the transfers are accounting steps: “We have to move it twice,” a staff member said, explaining the county brings grant and match dollars into the Board of Commissioners fund and then assigns them to the two project funds. The staff member said the projects will be reimbursed by the state as the county spends the money.
The action is procedural bookkeeping to record the full grant amount and local match before expenditures. A county finance staff member said the transfers do not create double funding; rather, they reflect the grant total plus the county’s local match so those dollars can be spent and then reimbursed.
Commissioners moved and seconded the transfer appropriation resolution and voted to approve it.
The meeting record does not identify project start dates, detailed budgets, or the specific state program that awarded the grant. The staff explanation noted the grant amount, the local match, and that reimbursements from the state will occur as expenses are incurred.
