The county’s budget committee reported committee-recommended amendments and transfers at the March 10 workshop, and the mayor presented several appointments for commission confirmation.
Budget committee chair reported amendments including $4,100 for circuit court data-processing upgrades, $1,000 from the Mutt Nation Foundation for animal control, and a $5,504 transfer in the accounting and budget office to cross-train a replacement clerk. The committee also reported consideration of a $180,000 request from the school board to purchase marquees for middle schools. The budget committee chair said the committee had passed its recommendations by a 4–0 committee vote and asked the full commission if there were questions.

Ending: The committee’s recommendations and the mayor’s nominations will proceed to the commission agenda for formal action; staff will provide any supplemental materials as requested by commissioners.
