Commissioners approve memorandum for state food-purchase program with Northern Tier Community Action
Summary
The board approved a memorandum of understanding to formalize Cameron County's role with Northern Tier Community Action as lead agency for the State Food Purchase Plan, allowing reimbursement flows under updated Department of Agriculture grant rules.
Cameron County commissioners approved a memorandum of understanding with Northern Tier Community Action Group that formalizes the county's relationship to the State Food Purchase Plan program and allows reimbursement to the lead agency under the Department of Agriculture's updated grant template.
Chair (speaker 2) said the MOU updates are driven by changes to the state grant and that county staff, David Green and the solicitor worked to craft language acceptable to the Department of Agriculture. "By enacting it now, it allows us to direct funding to food distribution programs to reimburse Northern Tier," the chair said. Commissioners approved the MOU after a motion and second.
County staff said the template will remain flexible to update language as the Department of Agriculture circulates a statewide template, ensuring continuity of food-purchase reimbursements to local distribution programs.
