Sheridan County elects Secure Rural Schools payment option
Summary
The county treasurer recommended, and the commissioners approved, electing payment under the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self‑Determination Act rather than the 1908 act option; the motion to authorize the treasurer to execute the election passed by voice vote.
Sheridan County commissioners voted to elect payment under the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self‑Determination Act (SRS) when given the choice between SRS and the 1908‑act payment option.
County Treasurer Kris explained the two options and noted the county had most recently elected the SRS program. "Based on the information provided, I respectfully recommend the board to elect to receive payment under the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self‑Determination Act and authorize the county treasurer to execute the necessary election," Kris said. A motion to elect SRS was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Why it matters: the choice determines how federal receipts tied to national‑forest payments are calculated and allocated; the county has a standing allocation for SRS under a previous resolution referenced in the packet. The decision was procedural with no further debate recorded.
What happens next: the county treasurer will execute the election paperwork to receive SRS funds when Congress authorizes the payments and in accordance with the county's standing allocation resolution.
