Cooch County ratifies amended MPCA grant to finish Rainy Lake RV project; staff say county already reimbursed
Summary
The board ratified a time‑sensitive amendment to an MPCA grant for the Rainy Lake RV project, increasing the grant to about $279,063 with a 25% match; staff told the board the county has received final reimbursement and executed the amendment to meet a June deadline.
Cooch County officials told the board they executed and then ratified a time‑sensitive amendment to an MPCA grant for the Rainy Lake RV project that increases the award. County environmental services staff said the amendment raised the grant total to roughly $279,063 and carries a 25% match; staff explained they signed the amendment quickly to meet a state deadline and requested retroactive ratification by the board.
Staff described the Rainy Lake RV work as complete and said final reimbursement documents have been received. “The 279,000 has been paid to the county,” staff said in the meeting record while asking the board to ratify the amendment. The county indicated that the additional funds covered construction and engineering associated with the project and that other grant dollars remain available for related work through 2027 or 2028.
Commissioners praised the project as a strong use of grant funds and approved a motion to ratify the amended agreement by unanimous voice vote. The board’s action formally documents the earlier staff execution of the amendment and preserves the county’s compliance with the grant timeline.
