Following a public hearing during their meeting this week, Sheridan County commissioners voted to submit applications for $70,000 in grants for Compass Center for Families and Greater Wyoming Big Brothers Big Sisters of Sheridan County for 2022.
The fund awards were based on requests from the two organizations, with Compass receiving $55,000 and Big Brothers Big Sisters $15,000. Funds are awarded annually through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Community Partnership Initiative.
Renee Obermueller, the county’s administrative director, said availability of the program was advertised, and Compass and Big Brothers Big Sisters were the only two applicants.
Motions were made by Commissioner Tom Ringley.
Commission Chair Nick Siddle made the presentations.
Recognitions were given to Clint Beaver, a deputy county attorney, and Cory Main, a detention corporation with the county sheriff’s office. Both have been employed by the county for five years.
