Quorum Court approves grant recognition for Office of Emergency Management

The Pulaski County Quorum Court on Sept. 22 adopted ordinance 26 I 65, which recognizes and appropriates grant funds for the county Office of Emergency Management. The ordinance was read by the clerk and a motion for adoption was made and seconded. The clerk recorded 13 ayes and 2 absent.

The committee report accompanying the ordinance listed Curtis A. Keith as committee chair and recommended a "due pass" on the item. There were no questions or objections during the vote and the chair announced the ordinance had been passed.

The meeting transcript did not specify the grant amount, the source of the funds, or the specific programmatic uses; the clerk's reading was limited to the ordinance title and the committee's recommendation. Implementation details and reporting requirements were not described in the public portion of the meeting; the clerk and relevant departments will follow up with accounting and publication of ordinance details as required by county procedures.
