Carter County approves routine payments and budget amendments; signs off on $398,557 grant reimbursement contract
Summary
Commission approved routine minutes, multiple small vendor payments and a series of budget amendments including a $1,268,230 Head Start amendment and moved to authorize a $398,557 reimbursement contract from the governor's relief and recovery fund for administrative costs.
At its regular meeting, the Carter County Commission approved routine administrative items, vendor payments and a slate of budget amendments covering county, highway and school funds.
The commission moved to approve minutes from Aug. 18 and confirmed committee assignments. The tourism director provided a quarterly update but no action was taken on the tourism contract at this meeting.
On budgeting and payments, the commission placed motions and voted to approve several vendor invoices for highway materials and landscaping items, including payments to Summers Taylor for invoices of $744.32, $568.06 and $618.42. The body approved multiple budget amendments including a highway amendment totaling $11,161.10 (no draw from reserves), general purpose school fund items totaling $713,373.58 with $23,996.02 from reserves, and an amendment to the Head Start fund for $1,268,230.
The finance director also presented an emergency-spend update and an updated fund report. The commission moved to authorize the finance director to sign a $398,557 grant contract from the governor's relief and recovery fund to reimburse administrative fees; the motion was seconded and staff said the signatory would allow the finance department to submit reimbursement requests.
Next steps: routine financial monitoring will continue; staff will produce requested vendor totals for the disaster-recovery consultant and provide additional documentation as asked by commissioners.
