The court approved the minutes from the July meeting by voice vote after a motion; a motion and second for approval were recorded in the meeting transcript. The clerk then read and the court passed a resolution expressing the county’s willingness to utilize the Federal Aid Surface Transportation Block Grant program (Exhibit B). Justice Engel moved the resolution and Justice Billingsley seconded; the court voted by voice and the chair recorded no opposition.

The court next moved and passed an ordinance amending the 2025 county budget (Exhibit C, Ordinance 2025-13). Justice Whitley moved the ordinance and Justice Krausson seconded; the court held a roll-call vote with recorded affirmative votes and one member absent. Finally, the court approved an emergency ordinance described as the second amendment to an interlocal cooperation agreement (Exhibit D, Emergency Ordinance 2025-14). The motion to read by title only was made by Justice Curtis and seconded by Justice Billingsley; a roll-call vote followed and the ordinance passed.

Specific vote tallies available in the meeting record show roll-call “yes” votes for the ordinances and a stated absence for one member. The transcript does not provide department-level implementation details for the budget amendment or the interlocal agreement amendment.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Saline County, AR Quorum Court August 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its meeting the court approved minutes, a resolution to utilize the Surface Transportation Block Grant program, an ordinance amending the 2025 county budget (Ordinance 2025-13), and an emergency ordinance approving a second amendment to an interlocal cooperation agreement (Ordinance 2025-14).","taxTitle","Saline County, Arkansas","taxId",15524,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6481414,"Saline County accepts nearly $3 million EPA climate grant to protect Saline River watershed",64,227781,291850,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5594972-e5a7a3faba2f2c62de2557cdb572d329&start=227&end=291","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5594972-e5a7a3faba2f2c62de2557cdb572d329/thumbnail_227781.jpg","/articles/6481414/Saline-County/Arkansas/Saline-County-accepts-nearly-3-million-EPA-climate-grant-to-protect-Saline-River-watershed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6481414-1fb2066db9fe849ec87b3c7e57cc63a3/orig.mp4?Expires=1775891427&Signature=iMze6qJmUHhScd5kx9Chlk13qwThK6R7A90gPQQIMuAnyI27JnHR1kWyveVHDPF4uN6yn2wQNx5K5XSBVUXIJCUQp1-lvL~ysD~h70Fu0x98fyMvjck9fP9cnW3iVB0QcTwKkEr3fKtF6oV7n5EnhgEkP8IUINNZ-7FswwPQQ32tNmMeY481oHjLLAjv7zxMHhqmZfxCIamlav3pRgU3LD0Dy6fx76qZGk603dezUwKjOfn6pJwn8H1G8DC692CIrsVPBRFR7Yn6Iw6EXPOB4brtJzxjUjC7n9vKEXLEkfd0fptzsR7sLldA7HFEsQaV8WxGQDhsGhLsBMNu~I4uWQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Saline County approved a resolution to accept an EPA Climate Pollution Reduction Grant of nearly $3,000,000 to fund measures intended to protect the Saline River watershed and add recreational access, the court said at its meeting.

The clerk read the resolution authorizing the county to enter into an agreement with the Arkansas Trail Region Energy and Environment Innovation Coalition for the CPRG project. A county official told the court the award requires no local match and described the project as aimed at preserving one of Arkansas’s most pristine watersheds, implementing measures to keep the river clean and clear, and providing recreational opportunities such as bank fishing, kayaking and floating.

The resolution passed in a voice vote with one objection recorded. The court did not specify a detailed implementation timeline or which county department will administer the grant during the meeting.","Saline County approved a resolution to accept an EPA Climate Pollution Reduction Grant of nearly $3 million with no local match to fund projects aimed at preserving the Saline River watershed and adding recreational access.","actionData","errors"]
