4/6/26 - Bradley County Finance Committee Meeting

The Bradley County Finance Committee met on April 6, 2026, to review and approve multiple budget amendments across various county departments. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of budget amendments involving revenue increases from equipment sales, internal fund reallocations for utilities and equipment, and the use of ARP funds for EMS expenses. The committee also addressed capital improvement projects such as building renovations for Juvenile Court, with a $90,000 allocation approved for renovations and discussions about future parking improvements. Additionally, the committee reviewed grant-related budget increases for the Sheriff's Office, including a $65,300 grant for salaries and supplies. Several motions to accept budget amendments were passed unanimously, reflecting adjustments to departmental budgets for equipment, utilities, insurance, and operational expenses. The committee also discussed policy considerations related to water line funding for subdivided properties, ultimately declining a project due to policy constraints. The meeting concluded with scheduling budget hearings and planning for further departmental budget reviews.
