This was the list and amounts that were submitted by Commissioner Rick Cocke, with Commissioner Johnny Bowlin and Commissioner Bob Gold voting in agreement. Judge Executive Kevin Neal voted against accepting this as the final list and approved amounts. Judge Neal has explained that instead, he was in favor of non-profits submitting applications that would be reviewed by the court before making a selection and determining the amount of monies awarded to each organization.
Included below are the links to the video of the fiscal court meeting, the minutes from the meeting, the actual hand written list submitted to the court by Commissioner Rick Cocke and final typed report of the non-profits and the amounts requested vs amounts awarded.
