Senior center requests 20% local match for grant bus; county examines noxious‑weed fund accounting
Summary
The county's senior center told commissioners it applied for a cutaway bus grant requiring a local match (about $3,800). Separately commissioners discussed the statutory treatment of noxious‑weed capital outlay and whether the county must hold a separate fund; staff will research and move balances if required.
Cheryl, the county senior‑services presenter, briefed commissioners on a transportation grant application for a cutaway bus that would include an 80% state grant and a 20% local match. She said she had included the local share in her worksheets as a capital outlay item and that the requested local match was roughly $3,800. "That's it," she said when summarizing the local 20% share; commissioners asked staff to break out the state grant as a receipt and the local share as a capital outlay line so the FY27 worksheet reflects both sides of the transaction.
Separately, commissioners checked on noxious‑weed accounting. Staff confirmed some counties maintain a separate Noxious Weed Capital Outlay fund by statute; commissioners asked staff to research Pratt County’s statutory obligations and, if mandatory, to transfer existing special‑equipment balances into a dedicated noxious‑weed capital fund so spending and reserves comply with state requirements.
