Block grant left surplus for additional ambulance equipment; invoices due April 2026
Summary
Frontier Community Resources told commissioners the Idaho Department of Commerce block grant used to buy a new ambulance cost less than the award, enabling purchase of extra equipment for other ambulances. All invoices related to the grant must be submitted by April 2026 for county reimbursement.
Frontier Community Resources representative Machelle McFarland briefed the Board during a public hearing that the Idaho Department of Commerce block grant awarded to Gooding County covered the purchase of a new ambulance for the county. Because the ambulance purchase and accessories cost less than the grant award, the Ambulance Director was able to buy additional equipment for other ambulances in the fleet, McFarland said.
McFarland told the Board that "all invoices must be in by April 2026, so reimbursement can be made to the county," and Director Kepler is working to compile those invoices. No members of the public attended the hearing; county staff and the grant recipient discussed next steps for reimbursement and equipment distribution.
