County: operating funds secured for warming shelter; construction grants remain unresolved
Summary
Commissioners said the county received $100,000 in state operating funds and reported a county CDBG share of $144,000 (split with CAP) for shelter operations, but construction grants for the new shelter remain undecided and the contractor has not yet begun building.
At the April 23 meeting, commissioners clarified that the county had not received construction grants for the new warming shelter but did receive state operating money and a county share of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) that will help cover operating costs. A speaker noted, "We didn't get the construction grants," and later stated, "Our share of that was $144,000," describing how the county's CDBG allocation and partnership with CAP factor into operating funding.
Officials said the county received $100,000 in state operating funds and that the construction schedule depends on subcontractor availability; staff reported the contractor has not yet begun building and projected a completion window around Nov. 15 (with Dec. 1 a possible alternative). Commissioners plan a meeting with city managers to reconcile municipal contributions, discuss potential reimbursement, and coordinate timing given a possible lag between available operating funds and building completion.
