The Moultrie County Board approved amending the Moultrie County Health Department FY 2020 budget by increasing the revenue by $123,094 in the following amounts: DHS Census 2020 FY grant $10,000, COVID 19 Crisis Grant $35,672 and COVID 19 Contract Tracing Grant $77,422. “These were grants that came in after the start of the year; that’s why they weren’t initially in our budget,” Angie Hogan said.
The board approved a motion to reinstate payment in lieu of tax monies to the townships for FY 2021. According to Chairman Dave McCabe, they originally decided to take money out of the funds to help fund a request for the dive team, but the Budget and Finance Committee discussed this over the last few meetings and decided that it was not fair to the townships to take that money out of the townships’ budgets.
