Fiscal Court approves $1,000 reimbursement to Ohio County Wellness Center after water outage response
Summary
The court approved a $1,000 payment to the Ohio County Wellness Center to reimburse water usage and cleaning costs after the center opened showers to residents during a multi-day water outage.
The Ohio County Fiscal Court approved a $1,000 reimbursement to the Ohio County Wellness Center for costs incurred when the center opened showers to residents during a multi-day water outage.
County Judge Johnson moved the program support payment, and a motion was seconded and approved by roll call. The motion authorizes the county treasurer to issue a check from account 0150765070 to cover water usage and extra cleaning labor at the wellness center.
Judge Johnson and other court members publicly thanked water department staff, the fire departments, the senior center, park staff and volunteers who assisted residents during the outage. The judge said the county had declared a state of emergency at 10:40 a.m. on Saturday as a precaution even though damage costs did not reach the financial threshold for broader state assistance.
The court also asked fire departments that purchased cases of water or otherwise incurred out-of-pocket expenses while assisting residents to submit receipts; the court said it would consider reimbursement at a subsequent meeting if county discretionary funds were used.
The court approved the $1,000 payment by roll call (ayes recorded; no detailed negative votes were recorded during roll call).
