Board approves transfer of $167 Witwer Trust Fund award from Matthew 25 to Catherine McAuley Center
Summary
Matthew 25 asked the county to de-obligate a $167 Witwer Trust Fund award and have the amount reallocated to the Catherine McAuley Center; the board approved the request unanimously.
The Linn County Board of Supervisors on March 12 approved a request from Matthew 25 to de-obligate a Witwer Trust Fund award of $167 and re-award that amount to the Catherine McAuley Center.
Jesse Black, administrative specialist for the Board of Supervisors, said the board's earlier Witwer Trust Fund allocations included a $167 share for Matthew 25. "A couple weeks ago, I came before you with the Witwer Trust Fund Grama Awards. Matthew, 25, was on that list. They received $167," Black said. He explained the small amount resulted from how the larger award was split across recipients and that Matthew 25 had asked the county to reassign their $167 to the Catherine McAuley Center given current circumstances.
Board members expressed support for the transfer and noted Matthew 25 receives other county funding streams. A supervisor moved to approve the de-obligation and re-award to the Catherine McAuley Center; another seconded. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
The transcript does not list a roll-call vote or provide a formal motion text beyond the verbal motion recorded at the meeting. The original award amounts and the $50,000 allocation mentioned by staff were discussed as context for how the $167 figure was calculated.
