Fiscal court approves continued funding for Russell County Recovery; amount and prior years noted
Summary
Russell County Recovery requested continuation of prior financial support and the fiscal court approved the request by voice vote; specific annual amount previously provided was discussed but not restated in the public record.
Russell County Recovery representatives asked the fiscal court on Aug. 11 to continue prior county support for the recovery program. The court approved continuing the prior level of funding by voice vote.
Billy Dax thanked the court for previous contributions and said the program serves primarily people experiencing homelessness and substance-use disorders; he described a high turnover of participants and ongoing facility expenses. A court member asked the amount the program had received in prior years; the response from the presenter and discussion indicated that the county had provided funding historically but the exact figure was not restated in the meeting transcript.
A magistrate moved to continue funding and the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The record shows the court’s approval without a new line-item appropriation discussed at the meeting; the clerk will reflect the approved continuation in the county’s accounts per past practice.
Ending: Staff and program representatives will follow up on implementation and any paperwork required to continue the grant/contribution; the precise current-year amount was not restated during the meeting and is recorded here as “not specified” based on the public record.
