Commission suspends rules and approves $2,000 supplemental funding for Benton County Volunteer Program
Summary
After a successful motion to suspend the rules, the Benton County Commission amended and approved a $2,000 appropriation to the Benton County Volunteer Program, increasing total program funding to $4,000.
During "Any Other Business" on July 21 the commission voted to suspend the rules to consider Resolution No. 20250721-16, which would add $2,000 to the Benton County Volunteer Program. The motion to suspend the rules passed on roll-call 14 Ayes, 2 No (Commissioners Jerry Price and Commissioner Murphy), and 2 Absent. Sponsors Rocky Presson, Dwayne Fowler and Debbie Bain then presented an amendment adding specific budget lines (decrease 101.39000 Unassigned Fund Balance $2,000; increase 101.58500.316 Contributions $2,000). The amended resolution passed on roll-call 16 Ayes, 0 No, and 2 Absent.
The minutes record the appropriation as a one-time transfer from the Unassigned Fund Balance to the Contributions account to restore funding to a level the sponsors said matched prior years. The measure was adopted following the suspension and amendment process recorded in the meeting minutes.
