Grant accountant says current grantees are in good standing; status report due next week

The grant accountant reported to the Sumner County committee that current grant awardees are in good standing and that the county will finalize several outstanding requests before submitting its state status report next week.

"So far, all of our grant awardees are in good standing right now," the grant accountant said, adding that staff were finalizing a few requests and planning a meeting with SMART to complete the status report. "We will have the status report submitted next week. I'll be meeting with SMART to finalize that, and we will be good."

A committee member asked for clarification about the number of current grantees; the grant accountant indicated the question referred to current grantees and that the exact count would be provided as part of the status follow-up. The transcript does not provide a precise grantee count.

No funding totals, grant program names beyond the generic "grant awardees," or specific state report requirements were given in the on-record remarks. The committee then moved to the executive session after adopting the earlier agenda change.
