Emmet County pledges matching LOSST funds to repair Ringsted library HVAC
Summary
The board approved a $5,000 county contribution and pledged to match up to another $5,000 after the community raises $10,000 to replace two rooftop HVAC units at the Ringsted Public Library; estimated cost is $21,000.
Jerald Petersen and Robin Hansen asked the Emmet County Board of Supervisors to allocate LOSST funds to replace two rooftop HVAC units at the Ringsted Public Library, citing an estimated replacement cost of $21,000. The board voted to provide $5,000 from county LOSST funds immediately and to match up to an additional $5,000 after the community raises $10,000, a plan approved by a 5‑0 vote.
Todd Glasnapp moved to authorize the county’s matching commitment; John Pluth seconded. The motion passed with all ayes. The board’s action was limited to the county match; details about the community fundraising timeline were not specified in the record.
The library representatives said the project would replace two air‑conditioning units and a furnace; the board indicated the county’s contribution would be released once the community fundraising milestone is met. No formal vote was recorded to authorize expenditures beyond the pledged match. The board did not identify a department responsible for administering the matching funds in the transcript.
