Daggett County notes $200,000 rural grant approval, names initial spending priorities
Summary
Board members acknowledged a $200,000 rural county grant approval; staff said portions will fund rebranding, clinic audio-visual upgrades and workforce development, and a contract is expected in the coming weeks.
Daggett County officials said Aug. 5 that they have received notice a rural county grant application was approved, with $200,000 noted as the award and several line-item priorities discussed.
Speaker 6 told the commission the application was submitted Saturday and that they ‘‘received notification yesterday morning that they approved it.’’ Speaker 6 listed specific planned allocations during the meeting: $100,000 for rebranding, $35,000 for audio-visual equipment at the local clinic and $2,000 for workforce development. Speaker 6 said a contract stemming from the award is expected to arrive in a few weeks.
The transcript records $200,000 as the total award and the three line items above; the breakdown provided in the meeting does not sum to the full $200,000 and the transcript does not specify how the remaining funds will be allocated. The board praised the result and thanked staff for the work that secured the award.
No formal vote on spending allocations was recorded during the meeting; Speaker 6 said the grant approval ‘‘is approved for the next fiscal year’’ and that a contract will follow. The commission did not set final project-level approvals during the Aug. 5 session.
Next steps: staff indicated they expect a contract from the granting agency in the coming weeks, after which the board will likely return with details for formal acceptance and any required budget adjustments.
