Commission approves sheriff's office grant application for $6,008.12 with no local match
Summary
The commission approved a sheriff's office grant application totaling $6,008.12 that requires no local match; the motion to apply and a second were recorded and the item passed.
Meigs County commissioners approved a sheriff's office grant application worth $6,008.12 that carries no local matching funds, the commission recorded during the meeting.
The grant was presented as a zero-match award described in the meeting as "0 match, and it's the first $6,008.12." A motion to apply and a second were recorded; commissioners voted to approve the application.
Why it matters: a grant that requires no local match can add equipment, training or other resources at minimal direct cost to county taxpayers. The meeting record does not specify the grant program name, eligible activities, or the department that will administer funds beyond the sheriff's office.
The motion was seconded, and the item passed by voice vote. The record shows the grant amount and match requirement but does not include a budget code or timeline for how the funds will be spent. Commissioners did not discuss spending specifics during the action recorded at this meeting.
Next steps: the sheriff's office or county finance staff will complete the application and return any required acceptance documentation for commission records.
