Board amends DA budget to retain assistant district attorney positions; county share $49,500
Summary
Laurens County approved a budget amendment to retain assistant district attorney positions after grant funding ended; the additional cost this fiscal year is $75,000, with Laurens County responsible for $49,500.
County Administrator Bryan Rogers told the board that a grant which had funded assistant district attorney positions ran out and retaining those positions for the remainder of the fiscal year requires an additional $75,000 in total; Laurens County’s portion is $49,500. Commissioner Kevin Tanner moved to amend the District Attorney’s budget as presented and Commissioner Trae Kemp seconded; the board approved the amendment unanimously.
The amendment preserves staff capacity in the District Attorney’s office through the fiscal year; the transcript does not record whether the county will seek replacement grant funding or reassign other budget lines to cover future costs beyond the current fiscal year.
