Commission approves budget amendments, reappoints medical examiner and fills equalization seats
Summary
Putnam County commissioners approved budget amendments to the county general fund, highway fund and general purpose school fund, and confirmed several personnel appointments including reappointing Sullivan Smith, MD as medical examiner and appointments to the County Board of Equalization; motions passed unanimously.
The fiscal review and nominating committees presented multiple actions the commission approved by voice or roll‑call votes.
Fiscal review brought budget amendments for the county general fund, the highway department fund and the general purpose school fund; each amendment was moved, seconded and approved on a roll call in which all 24 commissioners voted yes. The commission then approved the nominating committee’s reappointment of Sullivan Smith, MD, as medical examiner for a two‑year term through April 2028.
Assessor of Property Steve Pierce requested appointments to the County Board of Equalization (Arlene Bush, Gary Bush, Penelope Tittle and Brian Eads for two‑year terms through April 2028); the commission approved those appointments. The commission also approved the clerk’s confirmation of a slate of notaries and ratified Mayor Porter's appointment of Roger Anderson to the E‑911 board to replace Charlie Cobble (term to expire November 2026).
