Parker council approves $4,500 library grant from La Paz County
Summary
The Parker Town Council voted to approve a State Grants-in-Aid subrecipient agreement with La Paz County that directs $4,500 to the Parker Public Library from a $25,000 county fund. Councilors approved the measure as presented; the town reported no fiscal impact.
The Parker Town Council approved a State Grants-in-Aid (SGIA) subrecipient agreement with La Paz County that will allocate $4,500 to the Parker Public Library.
The funding was presented to council by Phoenix, who said the county distributes SGIA funds to libraries and that "the Parker Public Library will receive $4,500 of these funds per the agreement," adding there would be no fiscal impact to the town and that the signed agreement would be returned to the county for disbursement. A council member asked how much total funding the county awarded; Nora said the county gave $25,000 in total and that Parker’s share was $4,500.
Councilors moved and seconded approval of the SGIA agreement and voted in favor; the motion carried. Phoenix said staff would sign and submit the agreement to La Paz County for payment.
Why it matters: The $4,500 award provides a targeted boost to library services without requiring local matching funds, council members noted. Council did not adopt additional conditions or programmatic requirements during the discussion.
What happened next: The meeting then heard brief liaison reports, listed upcoming advisory and committee meetings, noted a President’s Day closure, and adjourned. The council’s next meeting was announced for Feb. 17.
