Greeley County board authorizes application for $400,000 DOJ grant to fund new patrol unit
Summary
The Greeley County Board of Commissioners unanimously authorized Chairman Jordan Foltz to sign application forms for a U.S. Department of Justice grant totaling $400,000 federal funds with a $49,000 county match to fund a new patrol unit and three‑year deputy salary.
The Greeley County Board of Commissioners unanimously authorized the chairman to sign forms to apply for a U.S. Department of Justice grant to fund a new patrol unit and a three‑year deputy salary. Carla Kimbal and Chrystal Curtis of the Central Nebraska Economic Development District (CNEDD) met with the board to outline the request.
The grant application calls for $400,000 in federal funding and a $49,000 county match to support the patrol unit and associated personnel costs. Commissioner Joe Leslie made the motion to authorize the chairman to sign the necessary application documents; Commissioner Dennis Wadsworth seconded and the motion passed on a roll‑call vote with all members voting yes.
County officials did not provide further detail in the minutes about the proposed deputy’s start date or the timeline for award notification. The motion simply authorizes submission of the SF‑424 application for federal funding; any subsequent acceptance of the grant and allocation of local matching funds would require separate board action.
The discussion and authorization were recorded during the board’s May 12, 2026, meeting after the board reviewed routine financial matters and vendor claims. The board did not take any additional public comment on the grant in the minutes.
