Denton trustees approve $12,000 in local grants from Keno community betterment fund
Summary
The Village of Denton Board of Trustees approved $12,000 in local grants funded by Keno community betterment money, reallocating awards after removing a nonlocal applicant and finalizing amounts for four local organizations.
The Village of Denton Board of Trustees on Jan. 6 approved $12,000 in local grant awards funded by Denton Keno community betterment funds.
Trustee Trent Wheatley moved and Trustee Amanda Fangmeier seconded initial allocations to five applicants, but board members noted the American Cancer Society is not a local Denton nonprofit. Wheatley moved to amend the allocations and Osborn seconded; the amendment carried. The board approved the amended awards: Dollars for Scholars $1,500; DCAC $2,500; Sunnyside Cemetery $5,000; and Denton Community Historical Society $3,000.
The board budgeted $12,000 for the program and discussed local eligibility for Denton-funded awards. The awards were authorized during the meeting after the amendment, and the clerk will record the grant recipients and amounts for disbursement from the Keno community betterment account.
The action was taken as part of the meeting's business agenda; no further conditions or matching requirements were recorded in the minutes.
