The Churchill County Board of Commissioners voted to ratify a grant award of $40,382.28 from the State of Nevada Aging and Disability Services Division to Churchill County Social Services to provide transportation services to residents age 60 and older.
Chris, speaking for county staff, summarized the award as "a ratification of a grant, that was awarded to CART, basically to facilitate transportation to Reno, for people that are age 60 or older." He said the allocation is partial funding, retroactive to October, and that new funding allocations for July 1, 2026 will follow; the application process was noted as scheduled for release in February 2026.
Staff provided a line-item breakdown: $27,800 for personnel; about $5,400 for travel; nearly $3,400 for operating expenses; $850 for other costs; and almost $3,000 in indirect costs. The award carries a local match of $6,057 and the funding source was identified as the Independent Living Grant.
A motion to approve the ratification was made and seconded; the motion carried with three recorded ayes.
The board did not take additional action beyond approval. The county did not provide further detail in the record about the expected service frequency, rider eligibility beyond the age threshold, or the contract period beyond the retroactive start date.
