County says $100,000 Homeland Security grant arrived to pay for sheriff radios
Summary
Emergency Services Coordinator Rick Gillespie told the commission the county had "finally received the $100,000 Homeland Security federal grant funds" intended to cover sheriff radio purchases from last year.
At the Aug. 4 meeting, Rick Gillespie, Pendleton County Emergency Services Coordinator, informed the commission that the county had "finally received the $100,000 Homeland Security federal grant funds for the sheriff’s radios purchased last year." The minutes record this as a notification to commissioners; no additional appropriation action or supplemental motion is recorded in the minutes.
The statement indicates the grant funds have been disbursed to the county for previously purchased equipment; the minutes do not detail how the funds will be recorded in county accounts or whether any further approvals are needed for expenditure reconciliation. The arrival of federal funds for sheriff communications was presented as a completed funding event rather than a pending request.
