Supervisors report grant awards and applications for teen center renovation and morgue equipment
Summary
The board reported the Critton Center was tentatively awarded a grant (requested amount $600,000) to renovate its teen center and that the county applied for a grant to cover an estimated $125,000 morgue cooler and equipment.
Chair reported that the county partnered with the Critton Center on an Iowa Economic Development grant application to renovate a teen center — work that would include doors, windows, a new kitchen and bathrooms. The Chair said the center was awarded the grant they requested and that the application asked for $600,000; the exact award amount was described as tentatively the full amount pending final confirmation.
The Chair also thanked county staff (Mike Montino and Liz Ford) for applying for a separate grant to purchase a new morgue cooler; the estimated cost read in the meeting was about $125,000, which would cover the cooler, setup, delivery and wiring. The Chair said the county submitted the grant application and expressed hope the funds would reduce costs to taxpayers.
Details on final award amounts and grant terms were not read into the meeting record; staff indicated final figures would be known in the coming weeks.
