Greenwood County signs state health grants to offset salary costs
Summary
Health Department Director Jayme Lewis presented state grants to commissioners, who signed them; Lewis said grant funds will be used to offset salary budget costs, though the grant amounts were not specified in the meeting record.
The Greenwood County Commission on March 16 accepted and signed state grant documents presented by Health Department Director Jayme Lewis to help with departmental salary costs. Lewis told the commission the grants would be used "to offset salary budget costs," and the record does not specify the dollar amount of the grants.
Commission Chair Preston Evenson and the five-member commission signed the grant paperwork during the New Business portion of the meeting. The action was recorded but did not include separate roll-call votes; the transcript notes only that the commissioners signed the grants following Lewis’s presentation. The item was presented as a measure to reduce the county’s general fund pressure for personnel expenses; specific funding lines, grant period, and award amounts were not stated in the meeting record. The commission’s next regular meeting is set for March 23, 2026, when related budget items (including a pay-scale work session) are scheduled to resume.
