Sheriff’s office to use grant funds for concrete slab at law enforcement training range

Polk County approved using grant funds to construct a concrete slab at the county law enforcement training center to support a relocated portable carport.
Sheriff’s department representative (recorded as Blake Wilson/Ben in the transcript) described that when EMS vacated the St. Mary's location the department disassembled a portable carport and moved it to the range; the appropriation covers pouring a concrete slab for that structure. The speaker said all costs for the slab will be paid with grant funding.
A motion to approve the grant-funded project was made, seconded and the motion carried with no opposition recorded in the transcript.
Why it matters: the project uses external grant funds and provides a permanent, safe surface for training equipment at the county range.
Discussion: officials asked if there were questions; none were recorded beyond a straightforward approval. The transcript did not include vendor, grant program name, or dollar amount for the slab work.
Ending: The board proceeded to other agenda items after approving the grant-funded slab project.
