Pittsburg County approves deposit of $4,738 for Haywood/Arpelar volunteer fire department

The Pittsburg County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously April 27 to adopt Resolution No. 26-240, authorizing the deposit of $4,738 received from Graham Auctioneers into the Haywood/Arpelar Volunteer Fire Department account.

Chairman Ross Selman read the resolution during the meeting and moved to approve it; Vice-Chairman Mike Haynes seconded the motion and the board recorded unanimous approval. The minutes show the funds came from the sale of county-owned equipment at a statewide county surplus auction and were apportioned by the county treasurer’s office.

According to attached settlement documents, auction receipts totaled $254,214.40 and were divided among multiple county accounts, with $4,738 credited to fund 1321-2-8216-4110 for the Haywood/Arpelar fire department. The county’s special apportionment forms and miscellaneous receipts filed with the treasurer record the same allocation.

The action was ministerial: the board approved the deposit and signing of approved claims; no dissent or public comment was recorded. The minutes show the board then continued with other agenda items and adjourned after completing fiscal business.
