Loudon County Commission adopts 2024–25 budget and approves routine appropriations
Summary
The Loudon County Commission approved the fiscal 2024–25 budget and a slate of fund amendments and nonprofit appropriations on June 24, 2024, while also approving grants and one-time facility funding. Multiple resolutions passed by roll call or voice vote.
The Loudon County Commission on June 24 adopted the county’s fiscal 2024–25 budget and approved several related appropriations and line-item amendments. Chairman Allen and Director of Accounts and Budgets Erin Rice presented the budget proposal and the commission voted to adopt the appropriations for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2025.
The budget adoption motion was made by Commissioner Whitfield and seconded by Commissioner Shaver; a roll-call vote showed ten commissioners in favor and the commission recorded Resolution QG,2424-A as passed. "The commission should have a clear, balanced budget in place for the coming year," Erin Rice told commissioners during her presentation (presentation paraphrase in the transcript).
The commission also approved appropriations to local nonprofit organizations, accepting a staff recommendation to fund a package of nonprofit contributions for the coming year. Commissioner Whitfield moved the nonprofit appropriations resolution and Commissioner Satterfield seconded; the roll-call vote was unanimous and Resolution QG,2424-C was adopted.
In an omnibus action, commissioners approved a set of line-item adjustments and amendments across multiple funds (general fund, public library fund, convenience centers, special-purpose funds, school cafeteria and capital-project funds). Commissioner Shaver moved to approve items 1–10 as presented by Erin Rice; the roll-call vote passed unanimously.
Separately, the commission approved acceptance of a 2025 litter grant described in the packet as a no-match award, and approved several small district nonprofit contributions listed in the record (examples in the transcript include $3,000 for a District 7 nonprofit and $5,000 items for other districts). The transcript lists each contribution by dollar amount and district; commissioners moved and approved those items by roll-call vote.
Commissioners also approved a motion to provide county funding to repair or replace the Senior Center HVAC system, to be paid from county general funds, after a motion by Commissioner Shaver and a roll-call vote in favor.
