The County’s reporting entity is defined in Note 1 to the financial statements. The County’s financial statements include the operations of the Meeker County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) component unit, which expended $430,141 in federal awards which are not included in the County’s schedule of expenditures of federal awards for the year ended December 31, 2025, because it was audited by other auditors.

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards includes the federal grant activity of the County under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2025. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
