RE: Funds for MUSCO lighting P61*0 Dist # 3 Dist # 3
The Fairgrounds received a direct appropriation grant from the State legislature in the amount of
$281,300 and even though this is a direct appropriation and not a grant requiring matching funds, The
Department of Commerce will not execute the contract without proof that we have the funding for the
entire project regardless of their grant. The award of the grant was not really expected, and our budgets
were approved before we heard that we had received any funds, we also did not know if we were to
receive funds, how much they would be.
The budget amount anticipated for the lighting project was low at $175,000. The project total for the
rodeo arena alone is 297,541.00 meaning we had to come up with matching funds in the amount of
$122,541.00. We were not concerned about matching funds as we were told it was not required.
We had to cancel some projects in order to secure the money for the project as we did not want to lose the
grant, the following is an accounting of what was moved / cancelled so that we could have the matching
funds. We are currently executing the contract with Commerce and the contract will be presented as a
consent item in the next couple of weeks. We will then order the project through KCDA and begin.
