Summary
On May 20 the commissioners approved an extra $39,000 for Richmond Community College, approved continuing school support with a designated $100,000 athletics supplement, denied a $200,000 request from Partners in Ministry (citing exhausted ARPA funds), and adopted a budget amendment to accept $50,000 from Trillium for family treatment court.
Several discrete funding and grant-related motions were resolved during the May 20 budget meeting:
- Richmond Community College: The board considered and voted to provide an additional $39,000 as requested; the motion carried on a voice vote after a motion and second were recorded.
- Schools: Commissioners agreed to structure school support over three years (one item per year) and to designate an additional $100,000 for athletics/start-up money (discussed as $50,000 to the high school, $25,000 to the middle school as an example); the motion was moved and seconded and approved on voice vote.
- Partners in Ministry: The board voted to decline a $200,000 request, noting all ARPA funds previously allocated to the project have been spent.
- Trillium/Opioid amendment: The board approved a budget amendment to accept $50,000 from Trillium restricted to family treatment court and accepted the opioid collaborative’s working proposal of ~$415,000 in program funding for next year (see separate article).
