Commission approves $47,500 in USDA reimbursable purchase orders for downtown work and locable expenses
Summary
Russell County commissioners authorized purchase orders up to $47,500 for reimbursable USDA grant expenses: $20,000 for locable expenses and $27,500 for downtown redevelopment services, to be paid from the grant fund and reimbursed.
Mike Parsons, Executive Director of Economic Development and the Convention and Visitors Bureau, requested authorization to write purchase orders for reimbursable USDA grant expenses not to exceed $47,500. The breakdown cited was $20,000 for locable expenses and $27,500 for Downtown Redevelopment services.
Commissioners voted to approve the purchase orders to be paid from the grant fund and reimbursed by the USDA grant. The motion passed unanimously; the commission emphasized that these are grant-reimbursed expenses rather than charges to the county general fund.
The action allows staff to issue purchase orders and proceed with reimbursable project work under the grant terms.
