The 30-second brief
56 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Kay County's meetings, most in capital projects and grants. The latest, from Oct 5: The board had an item for a memorandum of understanding for Protect Grant Financial Obligations and Protect Grant Writing Services NODA/NORTPO. The agenda text does not show a dollar amount or whether the agreement was already in place, so this is a pre-decision grant support item. A grant writer or compliance advisor could track this as a live funding-related opportunity tied to Protect grant work.
