Commission approves multiple year-end budget amendments and $22,000 opioid-prevention grant to schools
Summary
The Hickman County committee approved a package of year-end and cleanup budget amendments, including funding reallocations for EMA, sheriff training, FEMA budgeting, insurance recovery, debt-collection attorney fees and a $22,000 opioid-prevention grant for 'Hickman County Schools Prevention Now.' Most amendments passed unanimously on roll-call votes.
The Hickman County Budget, Finance and Human Resources Committee on Tuesday approved a set of year-end and cleanup budget amendments and authorized a $22,000 opioid-prevention grant for the school district’s 'Prevention Now' program.
A county finance staff member presented grouped cleanup amendments — identified in packet numbers as 64, 65, 67, 69, 70 and 71 — covering year-end adjustments for county general fund, EMA vehicle procurement/insurance recovery, sheriff’s department cleanup, facility adequacy coding reclassifications and debt-service cleanup. The committee approved the omnibus package on roll call (13 yes, 1 absent).
Separately, amendment 26‑66 requested $22,000 in opioid-prevention funding for "Hickman County Schools Prevention Now." The clerk called the roll and the measure passed with unanimous affirmative votes from present commissioners (13 yes, 1 absent). Additional single-item amendments were approved for canine recertification fees (26‑68), FEMA Mission 8 budgeting (26‑72), insurance recovery/TCAT revenue (26‑73) and attorney fees/reimbursement related to debt collection (26‑74). Each item was presented as routine cleanup or to reflect prior Board of Education or court approvals and passed on voice/roll call votes.
Why it matters: The approvals reallocate internal funds and recognize grant and recovery revenues; the opioid-prevention grant directs $22,000 toward district prevention programming previously approved by the board.
Votes and provenance: The roll-call tallies for the grouped and individual amendments were recorded in the meeting minutes; staff noted prior approvals where applicable (Board of Education on 04/13/2026 and solid waste court action on May 4 for attorney-fee reimbursements).
