Health department requests line-item transfers, renews emergency-preparedness grant at $111,344
Summary
Health department staff asked to move $29,000 within their budget to fund seasonal employees and shipping costs for water samples, and presented renewal of an emergency-preparedness grant for $111,344 covering July–June.
Health department staff requested internal transfers of $29,000 to create line items for seasonal employee pay and freight/shipping after the department began sending water samples to the state laboratory to reduce costs.
Staff also presented a renewal of the county’s emergency-preparedness grant, an annual state-funded program, for $111,344 covering the July-to-June contract year. Presenters said the grant is recurring and would continue the county’s disaster-preparedness activities for the coming year.
No formal vote on the transfers or the grant renewal was recorded in the transcript excerpt provided; staff invited questions and noted they will return next month with specific line-item locations if the council approves establishing the new fund.
