Board adopts CDBG procurement policy to meet grant requirements
Summary
The board adopted a procurement policy tailored to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) requirements, using state language to satisfy grant submission rules and avoid application rejection.
The Alger County Board adopted a CDBG procurement policy the board described as based on state model language to meet grant submission requirements.
During discussion staff (S2) explained the policy is essentially 'a copy, 1 to 1 copy of the state' with county-specific headings, and that the policy is required for the county's CDBG application. After a motion and second, roll-call responses recorded support and the board approved the measure to ensure the county complies with the grant's procurement rules.
Members said adopting the state-derived language avoids problems that had delayed their previous application, with one member noting the application had been rejected previously for lacking the required procurement policy. The board directed staff to include the policy in next steps for the grant submission.
