Elk County commissioners voted to accept a four-year prevention and treatment services grant from the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs to support the county’s single-county authority (SCA) responsibilities for substance-use education, treatment and services.

A county official described the grant as required for county SCA operations and stated the awarded amount in the record as $1,171,201 (the transcript breaks the number across lines). The staff presentation said the performance period begins Jan. 1, 2026 and ends June 30, 2030; the audio transcript contains an erroneous year notation that staff clarified during discussion as a standard four-year agreement.

The commissioners moved, seconded and approved the application/acceptance by voice vote. Staff said accepting the grant is a required step for the county to receive and administer state funding for SCA-related programs.

The record does not include a detailed spending breakdown; commissioners did not attach programmatic conditions during the vote.
