Bradford County staff presented budget amendments for fiscal year 2025 and a series of resolutions that increase revenues and expenditures across county funds, citing grants and additional revenue received since the original budget was adopted. Daniel Follett (introduced as branch director) explained the amendments adjust line items so budgeted figures better match actuals.
Commissioners approved the budget amendments after a motion to do so. Staff then read several resolutions by short title and asked the board to approve them together. The resolutions and the amounts read into the record included:
• $118,000 for a Florida DEP vulnerability assessment grant (general fund increase).
• $146,348 additional local option fuel tax revenue for the road department fund.
• $645,161 increase to the road department fund from carried forward fund balance.
• $128,520 increase for fire‑rescue hospital wait‑time revenue.
• $309,118 (transcript later referenced $309,114) additional PEMT revenue for fire rescue.
• $11,450 for fire rescue standby services revenue.
• $21,290 for fire rescue equipment sales proceeds revenue.
• $135,000 in an EMS state grant for cardiac monitors (fire rescue fund).
After reading the resolutions, the board moved and voted to approve the resolutions as presented. Staff noted some amounts were grant‑driven and others were adjustments tied to revenues received after the original budget adoption.
The approvals adjust the county's revenue and expenditure budgets; implementing departments will process the grants and expenditures according to the usual fiscal controls and reporting requirements.
