The Christian County Commission voted to allocate its annual federal payment tied to the Mark Twain National Forest with 75% directed to schools and 25% to roads.
Presiding Commissioner Lord said the county had the same two options as in 2023; auditor Miss Dent recommended repeating the prior choice. Commissioners noted the federal formula uses a per-acre calculation (staff cited about $140 per acre) and that the total annual payment this year is similar to 2023 ('around $73,000). The county must submit its allocation choice by July 20.
A motion to allocate 75% to schools and 25% to roads was made, seconded and approved by the commission.
