Board OKs $2,500 America250 grant for traveling kiosk and employee pledge
Summary
Ada County approved a $2,500 Idaho America250 grant to fund a traveling kiosk and a digital pledge effort for county employees to commemorate the semiquincentennial; the treasurer was authorized to sign the acceptance electronically.
The board approved a grant application from the State of Idaho’s America250 celebration fund for $2,500 to help pay for a traveling exhibition kiosk and a digital pledge program for county employees.
Beth Mah, the county treasurer, described the proposal and said the intent is to move a kiosk among county facilities to encourage employees to read and sign a digital pledge related to the Declaration of Independence. The board moved to approve grant application number 2511-AAs and authorized the treasurer to sign the acceptance electronically; the motion carried by voice vote.
Why it matters: the award is a modest, celebratory grant intended to support a county program around the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The funds will be used for local programming rather than a core county service.
What’s next: the treasurer will sign the acceptance and staff will begin scheduling the exhibition across county facilities.
