Commission presented with ACCG first-responder PTSD program; $37,500 FY25 budget amendment required

Assistant County Administrator Barry Brooks presented the ACCG First Responders Program, which provides supplemental insurance coverage for first responders diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Mr. Brooks said participating in the program would bring the county into compliance with the state requirement but is unfunded; the county would need a FY25 budget amendment of $37,500 to cover three-quarters of an annual premium of $49,386.
