Commissioners approve Secure Rural Schools allocation consistent with historic distribution

Morrow County Board of Commissioners · July 23, 2026

Summary

The board approved the county's election and allocation method for Secure Rural Schools payments, continuing a historical distribution (budgeted at $160,000) used for search-and-rescue and similar activities.

County staff presented the required election and allocation choice for Secure Rural Schools payments (payments in lieu of taxes) and recommended continuing the distribution approach used historically to fund activities such as search-and-rescue. Staff said the county budget currently anticipates $160,000 from these funds.

Matt (county staff) summarized the requirement and said the recommended distribution had worked well in past years. "Right now, the county has a $160,000 budgeted for a reset on that," Matt said. Commissioner Kevin said he had been on vacation when the item arose but supported moving forward with the historical allocation. The board moved and approved the election and allocation by voice vote.
