Committee approves Employment & Training Center transfers and accepts donation to support tuition
Summary
The Planning and Economic Development Committee approved a Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act budget modification to shift funds for staff training and accepted a $1,475 donation awarded through the Allegany County Area Foundation to help a student pay tuition.
The Planning and Economic Development Committee on May 21 approved a request from the Allegany County Employment and Training Center to transfer funds within its appropriations to allow an employee to attend a leadership program, and approved appropriation of a $1,475 donation from the Allegany County Area Foundation to help a student with tuition.
The committee packet identified the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act budget modification as a transfer within an appropriation account to allow a staff member to attend a leadership program (described in the meeting as "leadership alligator"). The transcript record of the specific dollar amounts for that transfer was unclear during the meeting; the committee voted in favor by voice vote. "May I have a motion?" the chair asked; a committee member moved and the committee answered "Aye." No roll-call vote or member-level tallies were recorded in the public transcript.
Separately, the committee approved a resolution to appropriate a donation of $1,475 from the Allegany County Area Foundation to assist a student with tuition. The motion carried by voice vote after a member moved, and committee members said "Aye."
The committee did not attach further conditions to the donation appropriation during the meeting and did not record any dissent. Staff indicated the Employment & Training Center had submitted the required paperwork for both items.
