Commission authorizes sheriff’s department to accept two donations, including a $1,000 anonymous gift
Summary
The commission authorized the sheriff’s department to accept two donations: $100 from a Mr. Hodges and a $1,000 anonymous donation; one additional donation referenced as already accepted was noted.
Brown County commissioners authorized the sheriff’s department to accept two donations presented at the meeting: a $100 contribution from a Mr. Hodges and a $1,000 donation from an individual who asked to remain anonymous. The sheriff’s staff reported a third donation that had already been processed.
Why it matters: Donations can offset departmental expenses; the meeting record identified the donors by the names provided (Mr. Hodges and an anonymous donor) and noted the amounts. The sheriff’s representative presented the donations for formal acceptance by the commission.
The motion to accept the donations was presented and recorded during an agenda item to authorize the sheriff’s department to accept donations. The transcript records the amounts and donor preferences (one donor requested anonymity). The meeting record does not specify how the funds will be used or whether the donations include any restrictions.
The board proceeded to other business after the acceptance was recorded on the agenda.
