Commission approves budget transfers and a van donation; ambulance contract meeting set
Summary
The county approved multiple budget transfers and amendments for county and school funds, accepted a donated van for Veterans Affairs, and scheduled a March 11 meeting on the upcoming ambulance contract.
Cocke County’s legislative body approved a series of budget transfers and amendments and accepted a van donation for Veterans Affairs at its Feb. 18 meeting.
The budget committee recommended approval of the attached transfers and amendments for county operations and for the School System; the legislative body approved both motions to waive reading and accept the changes. Detailed line items in the packet list specific GL account transfers and sums (document attached to minutes).
The commission also unanimously approved accepting a van donated to Veterans Affairs by the Stinnett family (motion by Gayla Blazer, seconded by Wilma Ball). In addition, Public Safety Chairman Rick Vassar announced a March 11, 2025 meeting at 6:00 P.M. to discuss the upcoming ambulance contract.
Why it matters: Budget adjustments reallocate county and school funds across accounts; acceptance of donated equipment supports Veterans Affairs operations; the ambulance-contract meeting sets an upcoming public timeframe for discussion of emergency medical services procurement.
Next steps: County finance staff will process the approved transfers and report per normal procedures; the county clerk recorded copies of budget amendments and transfer documents in the meeting packet.
