Daggett County approves $30,000 regranting allocation for three businesses
Summary
The Daggett County Commission approved reallocating $30,000 in CEOAB regranting funds — three $10,000 awards — to previously selected applicants, with staff to backfill the grant program in a later round; the decision was made conditionally on attorney review of related documents.
Daggett County commissioners voted to reallocate $30,000 in CEOAB regranting funds to previous applicants, approving three $10,000 grants for small businesses that applied but were originally short on available funding.
The action followed a staff report that Peggy had contacted two runner-up applicants — Lisa Roundy and Durham Smith — who had indicated they would accept $10,000 awards; a third applicant, Sandy Pollitt, declined citing an inability to meet matching requirements. "So my motion stands to move forward with the allocating of the 30,000 in the regranting program for CEOAB," said Speaker 2, who moved the measure; another commissioner seconded it and the board voted in favor.
Why it matters: the reallocation distributes money to small local businesses that applied to the county regranting program but fell outside the original funding tranche. Commissioners said the money had to be spent on schedule for the grant program and would be backfilled in the next grant cycle.
Details and context: speakers described the $30,000 as three separate $10,000 awards to be offered to eligible applicants who previously applied for regrant funds but were not funded. Staff said funds originally intended for capital items such as grandstand improvements were reallocated to meet the grant program’s deadlines and matching requirements; the county intends to replenish the account in the next grant process. Peggy and staff will finalize recipient paperwork and execute contracts, subject to the county attorney’s review of documents.
What happens next: staff will prepare contract paperwork for the three awardees and follow up with contracting and monitoring steps. The allocation was approved during the meeting; commissioners noted the approvals were conditional on legal review where required.
