The Greene County council approved final and advertising motions for several appropriations and encumbrances including $49,400 for tourism, $2,000 for a veterans event, an Enduring Hope grant, encumbrances for the public defender, $24,990.36 for health-department flooring and various grant reallocation moves totaling $18,139.31.
The Greene County council approved a string of routine and project-specific appropriations and encumbrances in a single meeting, moving forward funding for tourism, veterans events, health-department capital improvements, and multiple small grants.
Council approved a final appropriation of $49,400 for the Visitor and Tourism Board and a $2,000 final appropriation to support a veterans event. Separate items approved included final approval of an Enduring Hope grant for roughly $806.75 and $1,100 for cell-phone-related expenses.
The public defender’s office obtained approval to encumber $1,879.96 to cover 2025 invoices for contract and appellate attorneys. The council also considered and approved a package of encumbrances and procurement items totaling roughly $134,813.38, prompting several members to admonish departments about last-minute, year-end purchasing.
The health department received final approval of a $24,990.36 capital-improvement request for flooring. County staff also reviewed a community grant account with a total of $18,139.31 (the council had appropriated $20,000 initially) and approved moving $4,534.82 from administration into prevention/education to fully fund grant requests in the prevention category.
Motions on these items were moved and approved by voice vote; where the transcript records votes it records unanimous 'aye' responses but does not provide a named roll call.
