Putnam County’s committee approved a budgetary transfer request Tuesday to provide $10,000 from subcontingency to PRPH, a local provider of therapeutic recreation and services for children and adults with special needs. Committee members said the money will augment services the county cannot otherwise deliver.
Paul (department support) told the committee PRPH delivers in‑community services and partners with providers such as local medical clinics. The request was framed as part of a broader review of outside‑agency funding: several nonprofits asked for funding earlier in the budget process and did not receive full appropriations, and committee members said the subcontingency pot remains available for targeted, approved needs.
Committee members voted to authorize the commissioner of finance to effect the $10,000 transfer from subcontingency to PRPH. The motion passed by voice vote.
