Empower House requests Special Alcohol Program funds; Floyd Lewis Foundation seeks tournament support
Summary
At the May 26 meeting Empower House Director Melissa Landis presented a 2026 report and requested Special Alcohol Program funding; Floyd Lewis Foundation President Steve Lewis requested county support for a foundation golf tournament and said he will seek non‑taxpayer funding via the county attorney.
Two local nonprofit leaders addressed the Coffey County Commission on May 26 to seek county support and funding.
Melissa Landis, director of Empower House Ministries, presented the group's 2026 commission report and its 2026 budget and requested funding from the county's Special Alcohol Program. The minutes record Landis’ presentation and the funding request; the record does not show a decision or vote to allocate funds at the meeting.
Steve Lewis, president of the Floyd Lewis Foundation, asked the commission for support for the foundation's golf tournament and said he would coordinate with the county attorney to pursue non‑taxpayer funding rather than county general revenue. The minutes record the request; no action or appropriation is recorded in the meeting minutes.
Both requests were presented for the commission’s consideration during the meeting; any allocation or authorization would require subsequent budget or program action recorded separately.
