Board schedules public hearing on $15.34 million budget amendment that includes $8 million EWP grant
Summary
The budget committee recommended scheduling a public hearing Aug. 27 for Budget Amendment No. 1 totaling $15,340,507; the amendment includes an $8 million 100% grant for an EWP (Helene cleanup) project and $372,000 for school funding adjustments.
The county's budget committee asked the Board to set a public hearing on Budget Amendment No. 1, a $15,340,507 package that includes several large line items and uses a mix of grant and internal adjustments. "Budget amendment number 1 in the amount of $15,340,507 on August 27," the committee reported as its recommendation.
The amendment allocates $8,000,000 for the EWP project (the Helene cleanup), which the committee characterized as a 100% grant requiring no local match. It also includes a $5,000,000 portion described as revolving loan/line-of-credit funds and cited $372,000 to cover a delayed state-required increase for the school board. Committee discussion said those school funds would be covered by cuts to the general fund and identified internal savings to balance the request.
The board approved the committee recommendation to schedule the public hearing. Staff will publish hearing materials and provide detailed line-item backup, and the board indicated it will consider public comment before taking final action.
