Board approves grants administration position to better coordinate county grants
Summary
Auditor‑Treasurer Kelly Schroeder told commissioners the new position will help reconcile departmental reporting with county financial systems and pursue indirect costs; the board approved the restructured position paid 50/50 by the general fund and HHS.
The board approved a restructured account technician position to focus on grants administration and improve coordination between departments and county finance. Auditor‑Treasurer Kelly Schroeder explained the role will work across departments to align program reporting with the county's financial system and help capture indirect costs so grants can pay more of their administrative burden.
Schroeder said the position will cover roughly 40 special programs and grants in collaboration with departments, adding that the role is not primarily a grant writer but will support departments in budget construction and compliance. Commissioners voted to approve the position; Schroeder said some positions may be funded in part by indirect costs the county can claim from grants.
