Sheridan County elects Secure Rural Schools payment option for federal forest payments
Summary
The Board unanimously authorized the county treasurer to elect payment under the Secure Rural Schools (SRS) program rather than the 1908 Act option after reviewing estimates; Treasurer Katie Araas presented the options and documentation.
Sheridan County commissioners voted unanimously on July 27 to elect payment under the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act (SRS) and authorized the county treasurer to sign the necessary election form.
County Treasurer Katie Araas explained that Congress allows counties to choose between the SRS payment and the 1908 Act payment and provided documents comparing the options and estimating payments. "Sheridan County has recently elected to receive funds through the SRS program," the record states. Commissioner Nick Siddle moved to elect SRS and authorize the Treasurer to execute the necessary election form; the motion passed unanimously.
The decision directs county staff to complete and submit the election paperwork to preserve the county's SRS eligibility for the relevant fiscal period.
