Grant County agrees to $1,490 match for senior services; hears requests from developmental providers
Summary
Commissioners voted to match $1,490 for services from the Southwest Kansas Area Agency on Aging and received presentations from Southwest Developmental Services (requesting $56,557 for 2027) and Russell Child Developmental Center (requesting $35,000 for 2027).
The Southwest Kansas Area Agency on Aging reported Grant County received $127,225 in 2025 for services including insurance counseling, friendship meals, in-home care, case management and housing vouchers. The agency requested a $1,490 county match; Commissioner John Martin moved to provide the match and the motion carried unanimously.
The board also heard presentations from Steve Sandoval of Southwest Developmental Services, who requested a 2027 appropriation of $56,557 (an $11,442 increase from the prior year), and from Stephanie Wells and board member Christy Wooley of the Russell Child Developmental Center, who requested $35,000 for 2027 (the same as last year). Commissioners received the requests; the meeting record does not show final appropriation votes on those requests in this session.
Commissioners did not specify how the match payment for SWKAAA will be disbursed in the transcript; staff follow-up was implied.
