Summary
Commissioners approved budget amendment 25-83 to cover a settlement related to a beer lawsuit; documents show a breakdown between county payments and insurance coverage.
Hickman County commissioners approved a budget amendment tonight to pay a court judgment arising from a lawsuit described in meeting materials as the “beer lawsuit.” The board approved budget amendment 25-83 by recorded vote.
The county clerk presented the budget amendment and accompanying breakdown showing how much the county will pay directly and how much will be covered by insurance. Commissioners voted to accept the budget amendment 25-83; the roll call produced a majority in favor and the amendment was recorded as approved.
Chairing discussion, committee leaders grouped several budget amendments for approval earlier in the meeting and then separated 25-83 for full commission action after it was added to the agenda by a motion to set aside rules. The motion to add the item was made earlier in the meeting and the board later voted to adopt 25-83.
The board asked no substantive questions in the floor discussion recorded at the meeting; staff noted the second page of the amendment packet contains a judgment breakdown between the county and insurance coverage. The amendment took effect when approved by the commission.
