Court authorizes signing of KYAM/SAR master agreement when state master agreement arrives

At the Oct. 1 special called meeting, Mr. Kertner provided an update on the KYAM/SAR grant award, saying the county is waiting for the state's master agreement and for the finance department to move funds into the appropriate account.

"Right now, we're waiting on the master agreement that has to be sent to us by the state," Kertner said. He added that county staff would sign the agreement and that the county must wait for the state to transfer money. Chair moved to authorize signing the agreement after review by Jason and departmental approval; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.

Kertner also said he had not yet heard back about an underwater sonar item from Homeland Security and that the county will monitor both grant and federal communications as the agreements arrive.
