Woodbury County approves $600,000 CDBG contract to benefit The Crittenton Center
Summary
The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve a contract with the Iowa Economic Development Authority to receive a $600,000 Community Development Block Grant that will pass through the county to The Crittenton Center; staff said a subrecipient agreement and grant administrator are next steps.
The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve a contract with the Iowa Economic Development Authority to accept a $600,000 Community Development Block Grant that will be passed through the county to The Crittenton Center.
Board administration staff said the county is the official grantee and the center will be the subrecipient. "The Iowa Economic Development Authority awarded this grant in an amount of $600,000. Woodbury County will be the recipient of the grant, and The Crittenton Center will be the recipient. Funds will pass through the county to The Crittenton Center," said Ryan Erickson, board administration.
Erickson told the board this approval is an initial step in a multi-step process. He said the next steps include executing a subrecipient agreement with The Crittenton Center and securing a grant administrator to manage grant administration and ensure compliance. Erickson said he is working with a potential administrator to finalize that contract.
The board approved the contract by voice vote. The motion to approve the contract was recorded as "Motion by Benjures, second by Carper," and the board answered "aye," with the vote announced as passing 5-0.
The contract does not itself release funds; Erickson characterized the board's action as the procedural step required to accept the award and move toward subrecipient and administration agreements that will govern how the $600,000 is disbursed and managed.
