In a summary to the commission, the budget committee outlined several recommended amendments and capital items.

The committee also discussed capital items including acceptance of a $44,015 insurance recovery toward patrol car replacement and a $305,461 transfer from a rural-health transformation grant that will fund one ambulance; the state will reimburse the county after vehicle purchase and placing it in service. Committee members noted the county's annual ILA note for school buses ($1,065,332) and that the county expects propane buses and special-ed units. The budget committee reported unanimous approval to forward the initial round of amendments to the full commission.
The mayor's office also reported the county has completed and returned an annual SRO grant application for $975,000 to fund school resource officers across the county. Committee members recommended forwarding the listed items to the commission for Monday's agenda.
