Board approves categorical exclusion for CDBG Microenterprise grant application
Summary
Commissioners authorized the chair to sign the determination of exemption and categorical exclusion paperwork for the county's Economic Alliance Microenterprise Assistance Program, clearing an administrative NEPA step for a CDBG microenterprise grant application.
The Okanogan County Board of Commissioners authorized the chair to sign a determination of exemption and a determination of categorical exclusion for the Economic Alliance Microenterprise Assistance Program, part of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) microenterprise assistance application.
County staff told the board the activity was administrative and therefore exempt from NEPA review; the board approved the chair's signature on the documentation.
Why it matters: the determinations are administrative steps required to proceed with a microenterprise grant application and allow the county and partner the Economic Alliance to move forward with the program paperwork. The county's action at the meeting was administrative; staff will continue application work with the Economic Alliance.
