Grant County Quorum Court approved an amendment to the county’s 2024 budget, Appropriation Ordinance 2024-15, at a special meeting on Dec. 30, 2024.
Treasurer Tim Stuckey explained the ordinance is intended to "take care of the ARPA Fund for projects with dedicated money that were not completed," and Justice Mike Nevens moved to approve the measure. Justice Tony Carder seconded the motion, and Judge Randy Pruitt called for a vote. The motion carried, 9-0.
The ordinance, described by county staff as an amendment to the original Appropriation Ordinance 2023-14 for the 2024 annual budget, was presented as a technical budget adjustment to account for American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds tied to projects that remained incomplete at year-end. The court did not record extended debate; after the treasurer’s explanation the court proceeded to a motion and vote.
The roll call listed nine members present: Mark Allen, Danny Bone, Tony Carder, David Damron, Paul Drake, Jimmy Easley, Mike Nevens, Jason Roshto and Scott Wells. Following the vote, a motion to adjourn was made and the meeting was closed. The meeting minutes were signed by County Judge Randy Pruitt and County and Circuit Clerk Geral D. Harrison Jr.
