Council approves expenditure report, Tri‑County NextGen grant and consulting contracts
Summary
The Workforce Development Council voted to accept its expenditure report, authorized a Tri‑County NextGen health‑care workforce study grant, and approved consultant contracts (Collaborative Economics and a small website maintenance amendment).
The council moved several procedural items and funding decisions during the meeting.
Budget and expenditures: Jennifer Cassidy, deputy CFO for the Department of Workforce Services, reviewed July–September expenditures and grant obligations. Following a motion to accept the expenditure report and a second from a council member, the council approved the report by voice vote.
Tri‑County grant: The council considered a NextGen sector partnership grant to fund a consultant to assess health‑care workforce needs in a three‑county (Tri‑County) rural area. The subcommittee and the Strategic Performance and Finance committee had recommended approval; the full council voted to approve the request as presented.
Contracts: The council also approved a renewal of Collaborative Economics' contract to continue NextGen sector partnership support and authorized a modest continuance of Warehouse 21's website maintenance contract (approximately $3,000) to support the council's website. Motions and seconds were recorded for the contract approvals and council members voted to approve them.
All measures presented at the meeting were recorded as approved by the council; specific tallies were recorded by voice and not tabulated in the meeting transcript.
