Vigo County adopts subrecipient monitoring policy to strengthen federal‑grant oversight
Summary
Vigo County commissioners approved a countywide subrecipient monitoring policy on June 3, 2025, aimed at documenting oversight of pass‑through federal awards and meeting State Board of Accounts expectations amid an ongoing audit.
Vigo County commissioners on June 3, 2025, approved a countywide subrecipient monitoring policy intended to document and standardize oversight of subrecipients that receive federal awards passed through the county.
“The purpose of this policy is to establish county wide guidelines for monitoring subrecipients of federal awards or grants to the county to ensure compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward,” said Miss Tretchings of the Vigo County Auditor's Office when introducing the policy to the commission.
Tretchings said the county is undergoing an audit covering fiscal years 2020, 2023 and 2024 and that the new policy responds to instances where no formal written monitoring procedures existed. She said the policy is intended to provide documentation for the State Board of Accounts and to create consistent procedures for pass‑through recipients, including American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) pass‑through grants.
A commissioner reported that Terry had reviewed the policy and characterized it as an additional county policy for recordkeeping. Commissioners voted to approve the policy; no further implementation steps were specified during the meeting.
The motion to adopt the policy passed by voice vote. The auditor said the county would retain the policy on its records going forward.
