Coffee County Opioid Abatement Fund committee approves probation services request, defers larger Recovery Court request
Summary
At its June 18 meeting in Manchester, the Coffee County Opioid Abatement Fund Committee approved $21,000 for the county probation service and deferred a $160,200 Recovery Court funding request to its July 9 meeting to allow staff time to reconcile budget cycles.
The Coffee County Opioid Abatement Fund Committee on June 18 approved funding for the county probation service and postponed consideration of a larger Recovery Court request until July 9.
At a meeting at the Coffee County Administrative Plaza in Manchester, Linda Baker, identified in the transcript as representing Coffee County Probation Service, requested funding listed in the record as "21,00.00." The committee recorded a motion by Jeff Keele to approve the request, seconded by Chairman Judge Robert Carter; the motion "passed unanimously" in the transcript.
Committee members approved the agenda and the minutes from April 16, 2026, earlier in the session; Robert Carter moved to approve those materials and Lee Nettles seconded.
Allan Burnette, identified as representing the Coffee County Recovery Court, asked the committee for $160,200. Lee Nettles moved to defer the Recovery Court request to the committee—s next meeting "to allow enough time to make sure the last budget cycles are even," and Robert Carter seconded. The transcript records the motion to defer and notes the committee set its next meeting for July 9, 2026, at 5:30 p.m., but it does not include a roll-call vote or tally for the deferral motion.
The session concluded with Judge Robert Carter moving to adjourn. The meeting record also notes there were no public comments.
Clarifying details: the transcript lists the probation request amount as "21,00.00" and the Recovery Court request as "160,200.00." For readability the article represents these as $21,000 and $160,200 respectively; the transcript formatting error is noted in records and the committee minutes should be consulted for official figures and exact vote tallies.
