Board approves $500,000 allocation to Volunteer Fire Departments
Summary
The Cleveland County Board approved a $500,000 budget amendment to fund Volunteer Fire Departments, reallocating fund balance and interfund transfers per the rural fire commission agreement.
The Board unanimously approved Budget Amendment BNA #046 to allocate $500,000 from fund balance and interfund transfers to support Volunteer Fire Departments, reflecting the funding arrangement when Volunteer Fire Department No. 7 joined the county’s Rural Fire Commission.
Commissioner Deb Hardin moved for approval, Commissioner Doug Bridges seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. Finance documentation attached to the amendment shows interfund transfers and an appropriation of fund balance to reserve funds to meet the commitment. Commissioners said the allocation honors the agreement and supports local volunteer fire operations.
The amendment was approved during the consent agenda; no additional conditions or phased disbursements were described in the meeting record.
