(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Commission has voted to provide additional funding to the Rural Development Association of Northeast Kansas for 2016.

RDA board members meet with the Commission Monday to request additional funds in order to make it through the remainder of this year.

The board members told the Commission they face a shortfall of $8,200 in this year’s budget and would run out of funds in October.

Following discussion, the Commission voted unanimously to appropriate $10,000 out of the general fund to the RDA to help cover their remaining costs for 2016.

The organization also submitted their 2017 budget request to the county. The RDA is requesting $60,000, which is a $30,000 increase over this year’s allocation.

The Commission will consider the request when working on the 2017 budget.

In other business, representatives of Nemaha County Home Health and Hospice meet with the Board to request nearly $13,000 from the Broxterman estate funds to replace six laptop computers with smaller devices for use while employees are visiting clients in their homes.

The Commission voted unanimously to approve the funding.

The computers were last replaced four years ago and are nearly five years old.
