The Cass County Board of Supervisors, Tuesday (Today), received an annual report and funding request from West Central Community Action (WCCA) Executive Director Wendy Mueller. She told the Board their funding request this year is the same as last year: $4,000. The request was taken under advisement and will be acted on during the Board’s Budget Sessions.

The report, which covers the time frame of Oct. 1, 2019 to Sept. 30, 2020, shows funds are used to further support WCCA’s Federal Programs, and funding for programs that provide financial assistance to their clients, but does not provide for program delivery or administrative costs. The goal, according to Mueller, is to maintain a reserve fund for operating capital. The reserve, she says, allows them to cash flow their operations until their Federal and State funding partnerts reimburse WCCA for the work completed on their grants and contracts.

WCCA served 566 households and 1,189 individuals in Cass County during FY 2020. More than $929,265 in direct client services were provided to the County. Administrative and delivery costs incurred by WCCA for Cass County, amounted to $292,636, and over $1.22-million dollars in services were provided by WCCA for Cass County.
