Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on accepting a six-month extension of the Grant Agreement between Williamson County and the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) to allow for the expenditure of $38,568.52 in remaining grant funds.

The Court previously approved acceptance of $263,644.00 in grant funds from the CTCL COVID-19 Response Grant Program on September 29, 2020. The original grant project period expired on December 30, 2020. CTCL has offered an extension through June 30, 2021. During the course of the November 3, 2020 election, funds in the amount of $225,075.48 were used to pay a $3/per hour hazard pay stipend to poll workers. The Elections Department seeks to use the remaining grant funds to continue to offer poll workers a $3/per hour hazard pay stipend for elections to be held prior to June 30, 2021, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to loom and poll workers are being asked to work despite potential exposure to the virus.
