Commissioners approve budget amendments including coroner-autopsy, opioid-abatement increases
Summary
Coffee County commissioners approved budget amendments that reallocated funds for EMA overtime, corrected insurance-recovery accounting, increased opioid-abatement spending by $5,612, and added $29,600 for coroner autopsies; the motion passed by voice vote.
Coffee County finance staff presented a package of budget adjustments and commissioners approved the amendments by voice vote. Finance staff identified transfers for EMA overtime related to Bonnaroo, corrected an insurance recovery entry of $49,700, increased opioid-abatement restricted funds by $5,612 and added $29,600 to cover a spike in coroner autopsy costs, totaling roughly $227,000 in the adjustments described by staff.
“Mhmm. So that’s like a total of 227,000 for the year,” finance staff member Marianna said while summarizing the line items and transfers. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about whether Live Nation would reimburse the county for EMA overtime; staff said reimbursement was not known at the time and would be recorded as revenue if received. The motion to approve the amendments was recorded as “Motion by Mr. Hirschman, second by Miss Keel,” and carried on a unanimous voice vote.
