Summary

The board approved Resolution 2026‑O1 setting qualifying fees, authorized a VOCA grant application to be passed through to the District Attorney's office, and approved an MOU for a $45,000 BOOST grant for out-of-school programming.

Ware County commissioners approved several resolutions that authorize grant applications and set administrative fees.

Resolution 2026‑O1: Commissioners voted to adopt a resolution setting qualifying fees for county commission, school board and solicitor races. The motion to approve was moved, seconded and carried on voice vote.

Resolution 2026‑O2 (VOCA): The board approved a resolution authorizing the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) grant application. A commissioner clarified that the county acts as a pass‑through and that the application and eventual award are administered through the District Attorney’s office: “this vote grant is not something that comes to the county, but they have to go through the county… it actually goes through the… DA's office.” The resolution was approved.

Resolution 2026‑O3 (BOOST/MOU): Commissioners approved a memorandum of understanding for the recreation department’s BOOST program (Boost 2). Staff described the program as including a $45,000 grant to support out‑of‑school time services focusing on learning acceleration, academic development and student well‑being for Georgia students. The motion carried.

What happens next: staff will submit the VOCA application via the DA's office as required and execute the BOOST MOU to receive and administer the $45,000 award for recreation programs.
