Commissioners praise grants department after Adecco letter; county says grants will be disbursed soon
Summary
Baldwin County commissioners on May 21 credited the county grants staff for creating a new grant management system praised by Adecco, and said the county expects to begin issuing grants to municipalities within about a month.
Commissioners at the Baldwin County Commission meeting on May 21 said they received a letter from Adecco praising the countygrants department for implementing a new grant system, and commissioners said staff expect to begin disbursing grant funds to municipalities within the next month.
One commissioner told the meeting that the grants department "has completely got this thing" and that "hopefully within the next month or so we'll be able to start using some of that money" and "awarding some grants to other municipalities," according to the meeting transcript. Another commissioner said Adecco rarely offers praise, describing the letter as "commendable."
Commissioners framed the implementation as a substantial staff effort that will allow the county to move forward with grant awards. No grant amounts, specific program names, or schedules for application or distribution were provided during the discussion. Commissioners credited county staff generally for the work of preparing the agenda and managing the system.
There were no public questions or formal votes tied to the grants discussion recorded in the transcript.
