Business items on the agenda include Reno County Health Department (RCHD)’s Aid-to-Local (ATL) Grant Application for $975,950.27, and KDHE Healthy Families passthrough grant for $320,000.
On an annual basis, the RCHD must have the Board of County Commissioners sign their Aid-to- Local Grant Application Signature page. The grant period is from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, for $975,950.27.
This signature page is then submitted to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) for review and approval.
Another item is the Memorandum of Understanding with Prairie Dunes per USGA 2029 U.S. Senior Open. This item was tabled from the Feb. 26 Board of County Commissioners meeting.
In a request from Prairie Dunes, the club is asking for the same amount that they asked for from their request in 2006. In 2006 the county pledged $100,000 and offered "in kind" services with law enforcement.
The City of Hutchinson city council approved a similar request at their Feb. 18, 2025 meeting. The only difference is that the city pledged $200,000 to Prairie Dunes for the event.
