Luzerne County Council approves amendment to 2025 budget adjusting council advertising line item

Luzerne County Council on June 24 adopted an ordinance amending the county's 2025 fiscal-year budget to change the council advertising line item.

The amendment, introduced during the voting session, follows a short public hearing earlier in the meeting that described the change as an adjustment to the council's advertising budget to $2,000.

Council members moved and seconded the ordinance and approved it by roll call vote. The transcript records Councilman Perry voting "no," while the rest of the council voted "yes," producing a 10-1 tally in favor of adoption.

The council did not discuss additional changes to other budget lines during the vote. No mover or seconder for the motion was named in the roll call exchange recorded in the meeting transcript.

The ordinance was taken up during the voting session after the minutes were approved and the council completed roll call. The budget line item change was first raised in the public hearing portion of the meeting earlier in the evening.

The council did not attach supplementary documents or a detailed breakdown of how the $2,000 advertising line will be used in the public record at the meeting. Further budget documentation or implementation details were not specified during the vote.

Council members and staff will be the points of contact for any public requests for the full amended budget or line-item details.
