Commission adopts holiday schedule for publication and adds $500,000 historic courthouse grant application to regular agenda
Summary
Commissioners approved the county holiday schedule for publication and voted to add a matching grant application for up to $500,000 toward historic courthouse work (county match already budgeted) to the regular agenda.
The commission approved the county’s holiday schedule for the coming calendar year and voted to advance a grant application for historic courthouse work to the regular session.
The work session reviewed the holidays observed by the county and a set of days of observance that are not county closures (examples given included Juneteenth and Native American Heritage Day). The chair said the schedule must be published in the paper in December so the county proposed the calendar now.
Separately, Economic Development Officer Terry Malone is applying for a $500,000 matching historic preservation grant for the historic courthouse. The chair said the county already has the matching funds budgeted, so an awarded grant would lower the county’s net cost by approximately $250,000. Commissioner Beatty moved and Commissioner McElwain seconded to add the grant application to the regular session agenda; commissioners approved by voice vote. Staff will return with the application details and any necessary matching‑fund approvals at the regular session.
