County approves de-obligation of $414,239 in FTA funds and reduces Kootenai Health match by $103,559
Summary
Commissioners approved a de-obligation of $414,239 from a FY22 FTA Section 5307 award and a $103,559 reduction in an in‑kind match from Kootenai Health, with staff saying the move allows funds to be applied to future 5307 operations applications and extends certain deadlines.
County transit staff described a de-obligation amendment that removes $414,239 from a FY22 Section 5307 award and reduces the in‑kind Kootenai Health match by $103,559. The representative said the change will make the funds available for future 5307 operations applications that will include indirect costs, and that final expenditures under the amended schedule must be completed before Dec. 31, 2026. The amendment was described as intended to close out the award and allow application of new awards that include indirect costs; commissioners approved the amendment.
The transit representative emphasized that this is not a new grant but a reallocation and closeout action for an existing award, noting the amendment also extends a performance period to March 31, 2027. Staff reported that the match reduction does not include new county tax dollars and that the change helps clear out lingering FY22 funds for future use.
