This comes after meeting with a committee of county department representatives about how to assign just over $3.2 million awarded on July 31st. The estimates featured $1.5 million for a new Public Health facility and $1.5 million for a county wellness facility. The list also included $100,000 each for county technology and courthouse upgrades with the final $67,000 left for miscellaneous projects. The supervisors adopted this preliminary report unanimously.
The board agreed to authorize Farm Service Co-op to take soil samples from the county farm for inspection of nutrients at an estimated cost of $1,223.60. They also resolved to pay an inter-fund temporary operating loan back from the general basic fund to bring HCCMS to a zero balance.
