County introduces new business manager and announces $150,000 SNAP outreach grant
Summary
County staff introduced Amaya as the new business manager and said the county was awarded a $150,000 SNAP outreach grant to help residents regain food benefits; staff also noted smaller gun-safe grants for low-income families.
County staff introduced Amaya as the new business manager, saying she trained with Janet Mason who vacated the position July 1. Staff highlighted two recent grants: a $150,000 award to help people who lost SNAP benefits re-enroll, and a smaller grant to supply gun safes to low-income households. "We were awarded a $150,000 grant," staff said, noting the county is assisting Cumberland County on the SNAP outreach effort.
Staff also described building maintenance needs — including plumbing valve work and bids to address aging systems — and asked for patience while new staff complete transitions. Board members confirmed insurance and licensing for contracted maintenance vendors.
