Commission agrees to act as passthrough for Emergency Solutions Grant to Southwick Center
Summary
Officials from Government Assistance Services and the City of Emporia presented an Emergency Solutions Grant for the Southwick Center; commissioners directed staff to prepare paperwork and noted the county would serve only as a pass-through and carry no responsibility for the funds.
Garrett Nordstrom of Government Assistance Services and Jeff Lynch of the City of Emporia presented an Emergency Solutions Grant application to commissioners on behalf of the Southwick Center. The grant would come from the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation and, according to the presenters, the county would serve only as a pass-through vehicle for the funds.
The minutes record the presenters' description: "The county will not have any responsibility for this grant money, but act more as a 'pass through' for it." Commissioners directed staff to draw up the necessary paperwork to move the grant forward. The record does not indicate a vote to accept funds—only direction to prepare paperwork—and does not specify grant amount or implementation details.
