Commissioners allocate $5,000 to Soil Conservation District and add American Legion to levy
Summary
The board moved to fund the Soil Conservation District $5,000 and to add the American Legion (approx. $86.73) to the county tax levy, instructing the clerk to pay both from the commissioners' contingency and to add the American Legion as an ongoing levy item.
Commissioners approved funding for small local organizations from the commissioners' contingency fund. A motion carried to allocate $5,000 to the Soil Conservation District and to provide the American Legion approximately $86.73, with a directive to the clerk to add the American Legion payment to the county tax levy so the support will be ongoing.
The motion was presented by a commissioner who said the grants help small, recurring needs (for example, weed-district spraying and veterans' programs) and that funding from contingency is appropriate. The board discussed whether these are one-time payments or ongoing commitments and directed the clerk to set up the American Legion as a levy line item to ensure future continuity.
The funding was approved and will be paid out of the commissioners' contingency account; staff were tasked with processing the payments and implementing the levy addition for the American Legion.
