Commission funds EMS convalescent van from opioid fund line
Summary
The commission approved a budget amendment moving $122,000 from the opioid fund to pay for an EMS convalescent van, confirming the purchase was included in the budget but needed a specific line to pay from.
Bradley County commissioners approved placing $122,000 from the opioid fund into a designated line to purchase an EMS convalescent van. Mayor Davis said the expense "was talked about in the budget process" and that the county had not previously created the specific line item needed to pay the vendor. "It's in your budget," he told commissioners, noting the amendment simply establishes the payment source so the county can be reimbursed where appropriate.
The amendment passed on a voice vote with no recorded opposition. Finance staff and the mayor characterized the change as an administrative step to align accounting lines with prior budget approvals rather than a new appropriation request.
