Commission approves renewal of CAP co‑applicant agreement to secure HRSA clinic funding
Summary
The board approved renewal of a co‑applicant agreement with Community Action Partnership (CAP) tied to a HRSA health-clinic grant (about $1,000,913 annually), adding clarified appointment language, a county liaison role and a four‑year term aligned to HRSA cycles.
The Natrona County Board of Commissioners voted to approve administration of a co‑applicant agreement with Community Action Partnership (CAP) required to support an HRSA‑funded health clinic that provides services to underserved residents.
County staff said the HRSA award is the program’s primary funding source and the existing agreement had expired. Staff and CAP proposed modest edits intended to clarify the county’s role: the agreement now states the county will appoint three members to CAP’s governing board and the CAP board will appoint six additional members; it also adds a designated county‑commissioner liaison and a four‑year term matching HRSA’s renewal cycle.
Kelly (county staff) explained the four‑year term reflects HRSA’s new renewal schedule under recent federal guidance; commissioners asked about automatic renewals or notification clauses to avoid inadvertent lapses. Staff agreed to implement improved pre‑renewal notifications.
A motion to approve administration of the Healthcare for the Homeless program agreement passed after a standard move/second and voice vote; staff said the signed agreement is needed before HRSA deadlines in January.
