The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners approved a slate of grants, contracts and licenses during its December meeting.
The board accepted a Georgia Transit Trust grant for $9,970 to buy desks, uniforms and operational equipment for county transit and authorized the chairman to sign grant documents. The board also approved renewal of a subcontract with Denas Transportation through the Georgia Department of Human Resources to continue funding the county's leisure services bus (total award up to $45,000 as stated in the meeting packet).
Public Works awarded a groundskeeping contract to Keener Contracting as the low bidder at $30,000 for campus maintenance.
