The Lunenburg County Board of Supervisors adopted the county—Y2020-2021 budget on June 18 and approved two specific appropriations to support emergency communications and election preparations.
County Administrator Tracy M. Gee asked the Board to appropriate $12,500 from FY2019-20 and add $26,407 to the FY2020-21 budget to fund a Radio Assessment consultant contract with CTA Consultants, a combined total of $38,907. Supervisor Frank Bacon moved to authorize the appropriation; Supervisor Edward Pennington seconded the motion, which the Board approved unanimously.
Administrator Gee also reported that Lunenburg County was awarded $51,281 in CARES Act funds designated for the County Registrar to assist with November 2020 elections and requested the Board accept those funds for FY2021. Supervisor Bacon moved to accept the grant; Supervisor Alvester Edmonds seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.
Following those actions, Administrator Gee presented the proposed FY2020-2021 budget for adoption. The Board voted to adopt and appropriate the advertised FY2020-2021 budget with the additions of $26,407 for the Radio Assessment and $51,281 for the CARES Act Registrar funds. The appropriation was recorded as effective July 1, 2020.
Gee also cautioned the Board that the 911 Fund may require a supplemental appropriation in FY2022 to cover a transfer to Emergency Capital, noting a potential future budget pressure related to emergency communications costs.
