Board declines $6,500 request for Team Inc.; members cite budgeting concerns
Summary
Evan Doss Jr. of Team Inc. asked the Claiborne County board for $6,500 to assist clients with utility and other needs; supervisors said the expense was not budgeted and the motion to allocate funds failed for lack of support.
Evan Doss Jr., representing Team Inc., asked the Claiborne County Board of Supervisors April 6 for a $6,500 allocation to assist clients with utility and other needs. The board considered the request during the public-address portion of the agenda.
Supervisors expressed concern about process and budgeting. One supervisor said, "I'm not against doing, you know, what we did last year as a whole, but I know that it wasn't budgeted for this year," noting the board should not change the budget in the middle of the fiscal cycle without review. After discussion, the motion to allocate $6,500 failed for lack of support.
The board did not adopt the funding request and declined to transfer funds at the meeting; members who wanted the item reconsidered indicated they would reintroduce it properly with budget documentation if appropriate.
