Grand County accepts Colorado Works MOE relief, lowering county match requirement
Summary
The Board authorized the Chair to accept Maintenance of Effort relief for the Colorado Works allocation, reducing Grand County's match from 15% to 3.7% (saving about $5,000), and authorized signature on the department letter outside of the meeting.
County Manager Ed Moyer presented a request on behalf of Human Services Director Deb Ruttenberg to accept Maintenance of Effort (MOE) relief for Colorado Works, allowing the county to reduce its typical 15% match requirement to 3.7%. Manager Moyer said the reduction equates to county savings of roughly $5,000 (bringing the county match to approximately $14,900) and noted the county is on track to underspend Colorado Works allocations this year. Commissioner Randal F. George moved to approve the letter accepting the 2025–2026 MOE relief from the Colorado Department of Human Services and to authorize the Chair to sign outside the meeting; the motion passed unanimously.
The acceptance reduces near-term county fiscal obligations for Colorado Works. Staff noted the approval is administrative and requires the Chair's signature on a state form; Human Services will continue to monitor spending and report back if allocation status changes.
