Summary

County program staff said approximately $88,000 in remaining administrative funds from the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) program are available and proposed a short, roughly three-month recontract with SNAP worth about $93,000 to spend those admin funds locally rather than return them to the state.

Program staff (Britney) briefed commissioners about remaining administrative funds from the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) program and proposed a short-term recontract with SNAP to distribute the funds locally.

Staff said the county received about $1.7 million from the Commerce award in 2024 and subcontracted administration to SNAP; SNAP nearly spent its allocation and the county holds approximately $88,000 remaining in admin funds. The proposed recontract is roughly $93,000 and would run about three months to ensure the remaining administration funds are spent in Spokane County rather than returned to the state grantor.

Commissioners had no objections in the briefing and staff indicated they would place the contract on the appropriate legislative agenda for finalization. No roll-call vote was recorded in the briefing transcript.
