Board approves $9.71M school appropriation and $1.09M for three ambulances
Summary
The board approved the second-quarter distribution of the county's previously adopted school contribution ($9,710,396) and a $1,093,131 appropriation and related payments for three ambulances funded in part through a Google contribution; associated vendor payments were also authorized.
Finance staff presented two budget amendments that exceeded 1% of the adopted budget and therefore required a public hearing. The first clarified that the county's previously adopted school contribution (~$32.4 million) was being released in quarterly installments; the second addressed funding tied to three ambulances.
The board opened a public hearing, heard no speakers on the appropriations, and approved both items. The school second-quarter appropriation was described as 30% of the county's authorized contribution and the motion to appropriate $9,710,396 carried by voice. Separately, the board appropriated $1,093,131 related to ambulance purchases and then approved accounts-payable actions tied to those expenditures: a $460,974.02 payment for Reed Mountain fire/dispatch construction work and a $1,093,131 payable to Penn Care Incorporated to satisfy ambulance invoices.
What happens next: the appropriations will be processed and the accounts-payable checks released per the board's approvals.
