Commissioners add rental assistance grant to consent agenda, approve lease and CAFFA amendments
Summary
Marion County commissioners unanimously approved a consent agenda May 25 that included an amendment to a county lease adding $235,930, an amendment to the FY 2016-17 CAFFA grant, and a resolution to submit a Rental Assistance Program grant to serve an additional 15 transition-age youth and veterans.
Marion County commissioners on May 25 unanimously approved a consent agenda that included a resolution to submit a 2016 Rental Assistance Program for Young Adults and Veterans Grant Application, an amendment to the clerk's lease with Downtown Storage and Warehouse adding $235,930 and extending the lease through March 31, 2018, and an amendment to the FY 2016-17 County Assessment Function Funding Assistance (CAFFA) grant.
Health staff—identified in the minutes as Cydney Nestor and Cary Moller—asked the board to support submitting the Rental Assistance Program grant application. Presenters described the current rental assistance program and said the proposed grant would expand services to serve about 15 additional people, focusing on transition-age youth (roughly ages 16 into early adulthood) and veterans with serious mental health illnesses leaving state hospital or residential treatment settings.
During public comment before the consent vote, Bill Burgess said the Elections Office was still counting ballots, that some ballots lacked signatures, and that turnout was about 49 percent. Commissioners then moved to add the Health grant application to the consent agenda (motion by Commissioner Sam Brentano, second by Commissioner Kevin Cameron) and voted unanimously to approve the consent agenda.
The consent vote implemented the listed administrative items; the minutes do not record additional conditions or staggered implementation dates.
