Council fixes a budget oversight, approves county share of Greensburg 911 interlocal and several ARPA items
Summary
Council approved correcting a missed appropriation and authorized the county's $175,232 public-safety share of a Greensburg interlocal 911 agreement; it also approved ARPA-funded radio purchases and related transfers discussed earlier in the meeting.
Council members said a 911 interlocal agreement with the City of Greensburg had been omitted from the public safety budget during prior budget 'bucket' moves, though cash is available; the omission meant the county's share had not been sent to the state for approval. Council approved appropriating $175,232 from public safety to cover the county’s portion of the agreement and corrected the budget classification so the item will be included in state submissions.
Earlier in the meeting the council approved ARPA‑funded additions including a roughly $65,000 allocation for radios. Members noted that the combined public‑safety budget and interlocal spending together top $300,000. Motions to approve the ARPA radio funding and the 911 interlocal agreement were made, seconded and declared approved in the meeting record.
Council asked staff to ensure the contract and appropriation are posted correctly and to reconcile the bookkeeping so the state sees the corrected public safety appropriation; no roll‑call vote by name was recorded in the transcript.
