Commissioner Robert Flath reported he had communicated with the Extension Office about a Regional Livestock Development and Planning Grant and said the office believed it would be useful "for the tool box." He moved to move forward with the grant application; the motion was seconded by Comm. Keith Heidinger and carried with all voting aye.
The board's action authorizes county staff to pursue the regional livestock planning grant; no grant award amount or implementation timeline was provided in the meeting. Commissioners framed the item as an exploratory step to seek external funding and partnerships for livestock development planning rather than a commitment of county matching funds at this meeting.
