Elko CAB approves extensions and supports FY2026 heritage and habitat awards
Summary
The CAB approved extension requests for previously awarded heritage projects (total cited $883,193.97), supported FY2026 heritage awards (up to $2,199,756.70) and habitat research funding (up to $373,000), and directed staff to proceed with allocations and reallocation when appropriate.
The CAB reviewed multiple heritage items: extension requests for previously approved projects (totaling $883,193.97 as read into the record) and proposed FY2026 awards. The chair noted the heritage committee planned to meet to finalize project lists and that many projects were recommended for approval.
"Total funding amount is $883,193.97 may be approved for extension," the chair read during the heritage-extension presentation. The CAB moved and approved the extension requests by voice vote.
Members then considered FY2026 heritage awards (staff cited up to $2,199,756.70 for projects, with a notable share directed to Elko County) and habitat research and management proposals totaling up to $373,000 for items including strategic mapping, raven management and a mule deer fawn-survival study. After brief discussion the CAB voted to support the presented allocations and to back recommended projects for the upland gamebird and duck-stamp accounts where noted.
The CAB did not modify award amounts on the floor; the items will proceed through the commission’s approval process and the heritage committee’s scheduled review.
