Commissioners approve $95,111 transit pass‑through to Council on Aging
Summary
Without a representative present, the Board approved a $95,111 pass‑through transit funding request administered through the Council on Aging; commissioners said the county acts only as a pass‑through and it does not cost the county funds.
The Whitley County Board approved a transit funding pass‑through request of $95,111 for county transit administered through the Council on Aging. No representative of the transit organization was present at the meeting.
A commissioner explained the county is a "pass through entity" and that the request is separate funding that "doesn't cost the county anything". The same commissioner stated the group's current request "is $95,111." A motion to approve the pass‑through was moved, seconded, and the Chair called the vote; the Chair announced the motion carries.
The Board characterized its role as a fiscal conduit—processing funding through county accounting—rather than providing or committing county funds directly.
