County Staff Briefed Commissioners on Pass-through Amendment for DFCS Youth Service Grant
Summary
County staff explained a one-year amendment to a Department of Family Services grant administered through CapNC that extends funding from FY25 into FY26 as a pass-through to subgrantees Big Brothers Big Sisters and Climb Wyoming; commissioners were told the amendment changes timing only and does not cost the county additional funds.
County staff briefed the commission on a routine amendment to a state-administered grant that the county administers for CapNC (Capency in transcript). The amendment extends the existing FY25 contract into FY26 and does not change program budgets or allocations.
What staff said: The presenter explained that, because of a federal-level timing issue, the Wyoming Department of Family Services amended the contract to add a second year rather than require a full new application. "The only thing that's different this time around is that rather than doing a whole new application because of the current circumstances at the federal level, the Department of Family Services decided that they would just add a second year on," the presenter said. The county administers the grant on behalf of CapNC; two subgrantees named were Big Brothers Big Sisters and Climb Wyoming.
Why it matters: Staff told commissioners this is a pass-through arrangement required by state grant rules for these services and that no additional county funds are required. Commissioners asked only clarifying questions and accepted the explanation.
Decision: No formal motion was recorded during the transcript excerpt; staff indicated the amendment simply extends the contract and accepted questions from commissioners.
Ending: Commissioners had no further questions and moved on to the next agenda item.
