Commission approves letter committing one‑to‑one match for fairgrounds grant so application meets Feb. 20 deadline
Summary
The commission approved a county letter committing a minimum 1:1 match for a Rodeo Grounds pedestrian transportation infrastructure grant so the fairboard's application could meet a Feb. 20 deadline; commissioners said the match would come from fairboard‑designated funds, not the county general fund.
The Natrona County Commission voted to approve a letter committing a minimum one‑to‑one match for a Rodeo Grounds pedestrian transportation infrastructure grant so the fairboard's application could meet a Feb. 20 submission deadline.
Staff read the fairboard's requested letter, which pledged matching funds (cash and eligible in‑kind support) to be used alongside grant funds to purchase pedestrian transportation equipment for the fairgrounds. Commissioners clarified the county was not being asked to provide direct general‑fund appropriations; staff said the fairboard intends to use funds it has set aside for the project. "As long as it's not affecting the general fund," a commissioner said, commissioners agreed to make a procedural exception and approved the letter by motion and voice vote.
Next steps: staff will prepare the signed letter for the fairboard so the application packet can be filed by the grant deadline.
