Lake County agrees to act as fiscal sponsor for Full Circle’s FY27 CPF application; routine consent items approved
Summary
The Lake County Board voted unanimously to support acting as fiscal sponsor for Full Circle’s FY27 Community Project Funding application through Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen’s office; the board also approved several professional services agreements and routine consent items.
The Lake County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously on March 3 to support Lake County taking on the role of fiscal sponsor for Full Circle so the organization can apply for FY27 Community Project Funding (CPF) through the office of Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen.
County Manager Candace Bryans presented the request during the agenda item; Commissioner Andy Lee moved to support the county acting as fiscal sponsor and Commissioner Elsa Tharp seconded. All three commissioners—Mathew Bullock (Chair), Elsa Tharp and Andy Lee—voted in favor.
The board also approved a consent agenda that included three professional services agreements: a communications and digital services agreement with Elevate Strategic Consulting, Inc.; election assistance with contractor Teak Simonton for the June primary and November general elections; and a strategic planning contract with Avant Strategies LLC for the Lake County Parks & Recreation Department. The consent agenda further included the February Veterans Service Officer report, payroll and accounts payable packets, and several sets of regular and special meeting minutes. Commissioner Andy Lee moved to approve the consent agenda and Commissioner Elsa Tharp seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: acting as a fiscal sponsor allows a local nonprofit to submit a congressional CPF request using the county’s fiscal infrastructure, which can be necessary for grant administration and disbursement if the project is funded. The transcript does not record project-specific budget figures, grant amounts, or conditions attached to the fiscal sponsorship.
Next steps: with the Board’s support, county staff and Full Circle may proceed with the CPF application process; specific timelines and funding details were not specified in the spoken record.
