Drop‑in center seeks clarity on $150,000 grant and indirects; commissioners ask state contact to confirm allowable costs
Summary
A drop‑in center representative reviewed a grant listed at $150,000 for the year and asked how indirect costs and program expense lines should be reflected; commissioners asked county finance and the state grant manager to clarify allowable uses and coding.
Representatives for a local drop‑in center presented grant documents and budget attachments, asking the board to confirm how a state award (cited in presentation as $150,000 annually) should be reflected in the county budget and how indirect costs and program expense lines should be handled.
The program representative said the grant's attachment shows $150,000 for the annual allotment (with $7,500 noted as a 5% indirect cost), and commissioners and staff probed whether that figure represented total funding or only the wages portion. "That's 150 is our number," the representative said when commissioners asked which figure to use; staff explained that program expenses, training and equipment might be broken out differently and that some items could be paid over the grant life rather than in a single year.
Commissioners encouraged the representative to consult the state grant contact and county finance (Wendy) for an authoritative breakdown and reminded her the county can create a separate budget code for grant management if needed. The grant term cited in discussion runs through Sept. 30, 2026; commissioners said amendments or future reapplications could change allowable uses or award amounts.
