Cloud County nonprofit requests $5,000 for 500 school bags as Wind Farm grant is presented
Summary
Tonya Merrill of the Cloud County Resource Center asked the county to support a $6,000 project with $5,000 in local funds to buy and fill 500 school bags; CloudCorp’s Tim Biems also presented a Wind Farm application tied to Get in the Cloud grant funding.
Tonya Merrill, representing the Cloud County Resource Center, asked the Cloud County Board of Commissioners on March 31 to support a request for funds to buy and fill 500 school bags for students across the county. Merrill said the local portion would be $5,000 toward a $6,000 total project intended to supply Pre-K through college students.
Tim Biems, Executive Director of CloudCorp, followed with a presentation about alternative energy options and submitted a Wind Farm application for Get in the Cloud grant funding. Biems framed the application as part of broader county efforts to pursue alternative-energy projects and related grant opportunities.
The board did not record a formal vote on Merrill’s request during the March 31 session; no dollar allocation or formal approval of the Wind Farm application was recorded in the minutes. Both Merrill and Biems provided project and funding details for the board’s consideration and potential follow-up.
The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for April 7, 2025, where grant requests or related funding decisions would typically be revisited if staff place them on a future agenda.
