Commissioners approve grant renewals, an IT contract, a nursing contract and courthouse decorating request
Summary
The Elk County Board approved grouped grant renewals for Children & Youth Services, renewed an Okta IT subscription, approved a contract nurse at $30/hour, and granted courthouse-lawn decorating use for the holidays; disbursement of state-funded items remains contingent on passage of the state budget.
At the meeting the board approved a package of routine items and contracts.
Children & Youth Services: Commissioners approved renewal grants for Justice Works Youth Care covering 07/01/2025–06/30/2026 as a grouped motion with corrections. Key items recorded in the meeting: a nurturing-parenting/substance-abuse grant for $55,000 (noted as a decrease from a prior figure of $92,756); a dependent-promising-practice "JustCare" line corrected to an increase of $10,000 (transcript initially misstated a larger amount); a truancy-remediation and diversion line at $400,000 (no change); and a delinquent promising-practices initiative increased by $20,000 to $50,001. The board approved the package by voice vote; commissioners noted no vendor will receive payment until the state budget is passed.
IT: The county's IT director, Calvin Moore, described a one-year renewal with Okta (multi-factor authentication) from October 2025 through October 2026 in the amount of $7,140; the board approved the renewal.
County facility nursing: The board approved a contract with Kylie Stripe, RN, at $30 per hour to provide part-time nursing shifts at the county facility after the warden reported difficulty recruiting local nurses.
Community events: The Ridgeway Downtown Decorating Committee was granted use of the courthouse lawn to decorate for the holidays from 11/08/2025 through 01/10/2026.
All motions described above were moved, seconded and carried by voice vote in the meeting record. Several presenters and commissioners reiterated that disbursement of state-funded amounts is contingent on the state finalizing and passing the budget.
