Coffee County Ambulance Authority approves $10,974.22 in write-offs and forwards draft budget to Budget & Finance
Summary
At its March 20 meeting the Coffee County Ambulance Authority approved the agenda and minutes, authorized $10,974.22 in account write-offs and voted to present a draft 2025 budget to the county Budget & Finance committee for review.
The Coffee County Ambulance Authority on March 20 approved its meeting agenda and minutes, authorized $10,974.22 in account write-offs and voted to send a draft 2025 budget to the county Budget & Finance committee for review.
Board members approved the agenda and the minutes by voice vote at the start of the meeting. The authority then approved $10,974.22 in write-offs; a board member moved, another seconded, and the motion passed by voice vote. Later in the meeting the board agreed by motion and second to forward the draft budget to Budget & Finance for final review.
The draft budget includes targeted payroll increases and a handful of line-item adjustments the authority described as necessary. The presenter said he had inserted a 5% placeholder for payroll increases and flagged a single staff-title change (for an employee identified as Lori) for an accompanying pay adjustment. The presenter also identified a $1,000 increase for communications expenses and said the overall draft shows about a 3.64% increase from the prior year. He said the authority currently “gets 4.25 pennies on the budget” and that final figures will change once insurance and definitive payroll numbers are known.
Board members discussed who formally sets the corrected pay for the staff title change; the presenter said he would confirm the appropriate approver at an upcoming meeting. The authority did not record separate roll-call vote tallies in the transcript; motions were handled by voice vote and were recorded as approved.
No statutes, ordinances or other legal citations were referenced during the budget discussion. The authority set its next meeting for April 17.
