Lincoln County backs Tobacco Valley historic museum grant, signs off on AED grant application
Summary
The board approved a letter of support for the Tobacco Valley Board of History’s grant application to repair a museum boardwalk and wagon wheels, and authorized staff to apply for a grant to replace and maintain county AEDs (estimated maintenance ~$500/year).
The board voted to sign a letter of support for the Tobacco Valley Board of History’s application to the Foundation for Montana History Grant Program. The letter notes the museum sits on county-owned property, is run by volunteers, and the requested grant funding would be used to replace the boardwalk lumber and repair wagon wheels to preserve the historic site.
Separately, staff requested county support to submit a grant application to procure and enroll county AEDs in a maintenance program; a staff estimate for ongoing pad and battery replacements was approximately $500 per year. Commissioners agreed to support submitting the grant application and indicated the county’s safety committee funds may be tapped for required match or interim maintenance. "They do full maintenance as well," a commissioner said of the proposed vendor; commissioners voted to move forward with the grant application.
