Supervisors approve carryovers and grants, appropriate funds for tourism guides and school programs
Summary
Page County supervisors approved staff-recommended carryovers and appropriations including $19,095 carryover for the county chamber, $20,000 in restricted TOT for visitor guides, $5,640 general fund for multi-factor authentication software, $3,996 in federal opioid-response funds for smart displays, and the $281,851 Community School Grant for school services.
Page County supervisors on Oct. 1 approved a series of carryovers and appropriations recommended by staff to close out FY 2024 and support ongoing programs.
Staff reported the county received a final request from the county chamber and asked that $19,095 of its FY 2024 contribution budget be carried over to FY 2025. Economic Development and Tourism staff also sought $20,000 of restricted transient occupancy tax (TOT) funds to print additional visitor guides, noting $169,592 of restricted TOT funds remain unallocated.
Due to a federal mandate, staff said ECC dispatchers and sheriff’s office employees must use multi-factor authentication; the county asked to appropriate $5,640 from the general fund balance to cover prorated monthly software costs ($84 for ECC, $480 for the sheriff’s office).
Staff reported an adult recovery court was awarded $3,996 in federal funds from the state opioid response grant to buy smart interactive displays for the Northwestern Community Services Board where participants receive treatment. The school division was reported to have received $281,851 in state Community School Grant funds to pay stipends for school-based community liaisons, cafeteria monitors, professional development, counseling services, transportation for after-school activities, a part-time school-based therapist and hygiene/calming materials.
Staff recommended appropriation of all requests and identified funding sources for each item. A supervisor moved to approve the requests as presented; the motion was seconded and board members responded affirmatively on the record.
The actions will increase the general fund budget by $5,640, the tourism fund budget by $39,095 (including the chamber carryover), and the school operating fund budget by $281,851, according to staff figures in the meeting packet.
