Brown County advances $100,000 to sheriff's office to administer state grant
Summary
The Brown County commissioners approved a $100,000 advance from county general funds to the sheriff's office to administer a reimbursable grant from the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction; the advance will be repaid at grant closeout.
The Brown County Board of County Commissioners voted April 8 to advance $100,000 to the Brown County Sheriff's Office to administer a reimbursable grant from the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.
County Administrator Sarah Beath asked the board to approve a supplemental appropriation of $100,000 from the county general fund (CGF, Fund 4000) into 1000-1000-52134 (Advance Out) so the board could advance the same amount into 2205-2000-40503 (Advance In) for the sheriff's use. Beath told commissioners the funds will be repaid to the board at the conclusion of the state grant.
Commissioner Barry L. Woodruff moved to approve the supplemental appropriation; Commissioner Gordon Ellis seconded. The record shows a unanimous roll-call vote in favor by Woodruff, Ellis and Commissioner Tony Applegate.
Sheriff Hodges was noted as in attendance when the request was made; the transcript does not record additional details about the grant's scope, timeline or specific program activities. The board's action is an administrative advance; repayment is tied to receipt and closeout of the reimbursable grant from the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.
Next steps: the minutes state the advance will be repaid to the Board of Commissioners at the conclusion of the grant. The transcript does not specify reporting requirements, grant amount awarded, project timeline or which sheriff's office program the grant will fund.
