Budget committee approves JUUL-settlement-funded travel and early equipment order; board ratifies both
Summary
Goodhue County's budget committee recommended and the board approved an out-of-state travel request funded by JUUL settlement tobacco-prevention grant money and approved placement of an early equipment order for a truck (approx. $337,428), noting that the figure is preliminary.
The Goodhue County Board on a voice vote approved an out-of-state travel request for health and human services staff to attend a conference in Chicago, Illinois, funded by the county's tobacco prevention grant through JUUL settlement funds, and approved placement of an early equipment order for a county truck.
During a morning budget committee meeting reported to the board, members said the travel request came from the tobacco prevention grant and was recommended for approval. The board moved and seconded to approve the out‑of‑state travel request, and the motion carried on a voice vote.
The board also approved an early equipment order for a truck so the purchase could be placed on the vendor schedule. Commissioners noted the figure shown in the committee report — $337,428 — was not final and that the board was approving placement on the schedule and the purchase subject to later confirmation of the final price. The motion to approve the early order carried by voice vote.
Both items were described as committee recommendations; the board recorded the approvals during the meeting's administrative reports and consent process.
