Commission authorizes first round of sales-tax distribution IGAs under reduced program
Summary
The commission approved intergovernmental agreements to distribute the first tranche of funds under a 20% reduced sales-tax distribution program (maximum awardable amount $80,000); staff said four IGAs were received, naming Selmore, Billings Special and Garrison Special Road Districts while one recipient was not named in the transcript.
Christian County commissioners approved intergovernmental agreements to award the first round of projects under the county's annual sales-tax distribution program, which staff described as operating this year with a 20% reduction in available funding.
County staff said the maximum awardable amount in the current cycle is $80,000 and that the commission had approved the list of projects in March. Staff reported they had received four of six required IGAs and asked the commission to approve the agreements received so the projects could proceed and funds be distributed. The named recipients mentioned in the discussion were Selmore, Billings Special and the Garrison Special Road District; staff said one of the other two recipients was still working on board sign-offs and another had asked to hold and resubmit its application.
"This is the first year of the 20% reduction. So the maximum awardable amount is $80,000," county staff said during the presentation.
Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the IGAs that had been returned and authorized staff to proceed with distribution to those projects. Staff explained the county can disburse payments in monthly installments and would seek additional commission attention if remaining IGAs were not returned before the fourth quarter.
