Health director asks commissioners to sign routine grant renewal amid state portal problems
Summary
Charles Martinez, director of the Geary County Health Department, asked the board to authorize signature on a routine grant renewal that has not changed in 15 years, noting state online submission problems that delayed processing.
Charles Martinez, director of the Geary County Health Department, told commissioners the contract for a recurring grant had not changed in 15 years and requested the board's approval to sign the renewal so the department could proceed despite state system difficulties.
"It has not changed in the last 15 years," Martinez said, adding that the state online submission system had been unreliable and was producing some erroneous negative values for formulas. He asked the commission to confirm authorization to sign the renewal so the department could continue to receive grant funds and work under the existing terms while the state resolves portal issues.
A commissioner moved and seconded approval of the contract renewal; the motion carried and Martinez said he would call state contacts to follow progress.
