The transcript excerpt records the award and the dollar amount but does not provide details on the intended uses of the funds, any matching requirements, or whether the award required a board vote beyond the announcement. The Clerk’s announcement reads: "The sheriff's office was awarded an OASIS Technology and Equipment grant in the amount of $100,000."
