Board completes closeout steps for CDBG-CV food bank grant; no public speakers
Summary
Grants Manager Monica Harden told the board the county received about $3 million from DCA via ARPA to partner with Second Harvest on a facility renovation; no public commenters spoke and the county attorney advised no motion was required to complete the closeout.
At its Dec. 5 meeting the Blaine County Board of Commissioners received a closeout report for the FY2021 coronavirus community development block grant (CDBG-CV) food bank program.
Monica Harden, the county grants manager, said the county received "a little bit over $3,000,000 from DCA via the ARPA funds" to partner with Second Harvest to renovate a facility so the food bank could relocate and expand services. Harden described the closeout as part of the grant closeout process.
A commissioner asked whether Second Harvest's food distribution was limited to county-sponsored projects or if services could be provided in the city. Harden said she would defer to Second Harvest for program-specific rules but noted that the facility serves the city and Glynn County and that Second Harvest provides services across multiple counties. No Second Harvest representative spoke at the meeting and no members of the public offered comments during the hearing; the chair closed the hearing. The county attorney advised that a formal motion was not required to complete the closeout.
The record does not include additional program details from Second Harvest, including any city/county service restrictions or a breakdown of program operations. The grants manager offered to gather and provide those details to commissioners after the meeting.
