Martin County fiscal court OKs library lease paid with opioid-abatement funds for workforce staff office
Summary
The fiscal court approved a lease of a small office in the Martin County Library to house workforce staffer Carmel Stafford Plumb, to be paid from opioid-abatement funds at $1,000 per month, contingent on library approval.
The Martin County Fiscal Court on a unanimous voice vote approved a lease to provide office space in the Martin County Library for workforce staffer Carmel Stafford Plumb, to be paid from opioid-abatement funds.
Kelly introduced the proposal, saying, “we have opioid money, that is situated that can only be used for, opioid. Abatement.” Kelly told the court the rental would be $1,000 per month and that the space would provide a landing zone for donations and packets for community members served by the workforce program. The court moved, the motion was seconded, and the motion carried contingent on the library’s approval.
The court recorded that the lease would not use local tax dollars and that the arrangement is intended to support workforce services already provided by Plumb. No further financial breakdowns or the lease term length were given during the meeting.
The lease approval was taken as a single motion during a special meeting; court members did not request additional public hearings or supplemental budget documents on the record. The approval is contingent on the Martin County Library’s acceptance; the transcript records no firm date for the library’s decision.
Next steps publicly noted were only the contingency on library approval and continuing routine scheduling: the court expects to discuss broader funding directions before its regular December meeting.
