Summary
Hamblen County approved its consent calendar with additions and passed multiple budget amendments across departments; the commission added $100,000 for public health and welfare projects and approved funds for sheriff, facilities, code compliance and the medical examiner.
The commission approved the consent calendar after adding several items and then took votes on multiple budget amendments.
Among the finance items, commissioners approved an allocation of $100,000 for public health and welfare projects, passed a budget amendment providing $2,800 for the sheriff’s department, a $1,191.38 amendment for other facilities, and additional amendments for code compliance and the medical examiner (the latter for $5,000). The motions were presented by the finance committee and passed by roll call.
Commissioners also discussed attorney bills and pulled them for review before voting. One commissioner questioned a $24,000 attorney billing referenced from a prior month; staff clarified that the specific $24,000 was not on the present bill list and apologized for any confusion. After discussion and roll-call votes the items passed as presented.
