York County approves $223,929.79 CDBG drawdown for health department construction grant
Summary
Commissioners approved a $223,929.79 drawdown from Community Development Block Grant funds to cover a health department construction deposit, with staff stating a May 18 deadline and a plan to draw the remaining funds on July 1.
York County commissioners authorized a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) drawdown of $223,929.79 to cover the full-cost deposit for a health department construction grant.
County staff member Laura told the board the requested draw fits within the county's current budget authority and that consulting partners recommended the partial draw to avoid the risk of federal or state clawbacks. Laura said the remaining funds (about $375,000) would be drawn on or after July 1 and noted a May 18 deadline from the state for year-end processing that creates urgency.
Laura said the draw is a reimbursement process: after the board approves, paperwork will be signed and returned to the grant administrator (referred to in the transcript as 'send'), who will issue the funds and then submit a vendor claim at the next meeting for reimbursement.
A commissioner moved to approve the CDBG drawdown for the Four Corners construction grant; the board approved the motion by roll call.
Why this matters: Drawing CDBG funds in a timely way protects the county from losing federal or state funding because of changing deadlines and administrative clawbacks. The board's approval authorizes staff to execute required paperwork so projects can proceed.
Next steps: County staff will sign the required paperwork, work with the grant administrator to receive the reimbursement, and present a vendor claim at the next meeting.
