Commission reviews budget amendments including $75,000 in opioid-abatement allocations
Summary
Committee recommended moving several budget amendments forward, including $75,000 in opioid-abatement contributions split between Hartsville Hope and Healing ($50,000) and Haven House Rehabilitation Center ($25,000); items to be taken in one motion next Monday with the first amendment requiring roll call.
Commission leadership told commissioners the budget committee gave favorable recommendations for several amendments that will be considered at the full meeting next Monday. The most prominent was an opioid-abatement contribution of $75,000, with $50,000 proposed for Hartsville Hope and Healing and $25,000 for Haven House Rehabilitation Center.
Other amendments the committee recommended include accepting a Tennessee RMT safety grant of $67,100 to buy two sets of turnout gear for the fire department; an insurance-recovery amendment of $3,665 for a sheriff’s vehicle repair after a collision with a deer; TISA bonuses of $158,480 for education incentives; special-education reimbursements of $36,792; educational-incentive transfers of $48,538; and Utrust funding of $5,500 for school instruction programs.
The presiding official said all the amendments can be taken in one motion next Monday if the commission so chooses, but some items require a roll-call vote. The transcript records committee recommendations and funding amounts but does not show final votes.
