Despite a couple of last-minute pleas to reconsider, the Marion County Hospital District board of trustees did not include the Boys and Girls Club of Marion County for a 2020 grant. In 2014, the hospital district received $213 million from the lease of Munroe Regional Medical Center. After the vote authorizing the grants, Klein made a motion to allow the Boys and Girls Club an extension to apply before Jan. 27.
