Supervisors OK resolutions to keep county government going
By Mary Zielinski
With the approval of six resolutions Tuesday, the Washington County Board of Supervisors kept the county in business by giving departments their budgeted allocations and grants to a number of other groups.
One resolution provides for transferring the maximum funds to the Secondary Roads Department; however if revenues fall short so does the allocation. As it stands the funds, from General Basic and Rural Services, will provide more than $1.2 million.
The resolution for county grants totals $386,690, distributed as follows: HACAP, $120,000; Mini-Bus, $45,000; Fair and 4-H, $16,000; Fairgrounds, $17,300; County Historic Preservation Commission, $4,750; Humane Society (PAWS and Moire), $18,800; Washington Main Street, $5,000; WEDG, $19,000; Workplace Learning Connection, $840; Washington Public Library, $10,000, Wellman Parkside Activities Center, $10,000 and the Washington County Public Library Association, $120,000. For the first six, the funds are distributed one-quarter per quarter; WEDG is one time in July, the next two, one time in August, the next two once in October and the last, semi-annually.
“Now we can began to function for next year,” noted auditor Bill Fredrick.
