Ohio County agrees to $700 reserve transfer to match Ottoman-area $2,000 request
Summary
Magistrates pledged discretionary funds to the Ottoman area and the court approved a motion to transfer $700 from county reserves to complete a $2,000 request for local senior programs (Foster Grandparent, RSVP, Senior Companion).
Ohio County Fiscal Court on May 26 approved transferring $700 from county reserves to help meet a $2,000 funding request from the Ottoman area for local senior programs.
Magistrate Michael reported correspondence from the Ottoman area seeking $2,000 to support programs such as the Foster Grandparent program, RSVP and the Senior Companion program. Michael pledged $200 from his discretionary funds and encouraged other magistrates to contribute; after multiple pledges totaling $1,300, a motion was made and seconded to take $700 from county reserves to supply the remainder. The motion carried by voice vote.
Court members said the funds are intended for small community programs previously supported by the county; no detailed budget lines for the $2,000 were discussed at the meeting.
Next steps: county staff will process the reserve transfer and the funds will be provided to the Ottoman area for the specified programs.
