The Jackson town council voted on Sept. 11 to amend and then adopt the 2024–2025 budget, incorporating a newly received $75,000 grant and authorizing an overall 3% pay increase for full‑time employees. The amendment was moved by William Free and seconded by David Guillory; the adoption motion was moved by Free and seconded by Mitch Harrell, and both passed with no recorded opposition.
Finance staff member Holli Gilmore explained that the $75,000 grant should be recorded in the sales tax fund. Gilmore also reported that the town’s budget was balanced to date but that August close‑out procedures were ongoing. Council members approved updates to internal controls and payroll procedures that incorporate recommendations from the town’s last audit.
