AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE 23-OR-47 2024 ANNUAL BUDGET, PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS, TO RECOGNIZE AN APPROPRIATE REIMBURSEMENT OF FUNDS FOR THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.

JUSTICE STOWERS.

MAKE A MOTION WE SEND THIS ITEM TO THE FULL QUORUM COURT WITH THE DO PASS RECOMMENDATION.

A MOTION WAS MADE WITH A SECOND THAT WE SEND 24-I-01 TO THE FULL QUORUM COURT WITH A DO PASS RECOMMENDATION.

JUSTICE STOWERS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPLAIN? THANK YOU SIR. I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE OUR DIRECTOR OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, MR. ANDY TRAFFANSTEDT.

HE CAN EXPLAIN IT MUCH BETTER THAN I CAN.

THANK YOU, MR. ANDY.

THANK YOU. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE GRANT THAT WE RECEIVE EVERY YEAR.

THIS YEAR, IT VARIES IN AMOUNTS.

THIS YEAR, IT'S $171,175.76.

WE SHARE THIS GRANT WITH BOTH THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK AND NORTH LITTLE ROCK.

SO THERE IS A BREAKDOWN ON THE AMOUNT THAT THE COUNTY GETS.

WE WILL DO A VOUCHER AND SEND FUNDS TO LITTLE ROCK AND NORTH LITTLE ROCK FOR THIS.

IT'S KIND OF A JOINT VENTURE THAT WE RECEIVE.

SO THE COUNTIES SHARE THIS YEAR WILL BE $59,979.02.

THANK YOU, ANDY.

AND YOU. YEAH.

THANK YOU, JUSTICE MCMULLEN.

AND YOU CAN UTILIZE YOUR LIGHTS TONIGHT.

JUSTICE MCMULLEN.

OKAY. YES.

AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, WE'RE GETTING QUITE A BIT.

YOU WANT TO TELL US HOW THAT WILL BE UTILIZED? YES. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE WAY THE GRANT IS SET UP.

IS. SO EACH COUNTY IN THE STATE CAN BASICALLY STAFF THEIR COUNTY WITH AN EMERGENCY MANAGER.

SO THE MAJORITY OF THIS GOES TOWARDS SALARY, BUT IT'S ALSO USED FOR, PAYMENT FOR TUITION FOR THE ANNUAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE IN THE STATE.

AND IT'S ALSO USED SOME OF THE FUNDS ARE USED TO PURCHASE LAPTOPS OR TABLETS TO ASSIST IN THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR DUTIES.

OH, AND IT HELPS TO SUBSIDIZE THESE SALARIES.

[00:05:01]

YES. THE STATE AND THE COUNTY.

SO IN OTHER WORDS, THOSE EMPLOYEES ARE PAID PARTIALLY BY THE STATE AND THE COUNTY.

YES, BECAUSE THAT DOESN'T COVER ALL THE SALARIES BY ANY MEANS.

BUT THE COUNTY DOES PROVIDE FOR PART OF IT.

YES. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, JUSTICE MCMULLEN.

THERE SEEMS TO.

DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING? JUSTICE ELLIOTT. OKAY.

JUSTICE ELLIOTT WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED AS A SPONSOR.

JUSTICE CURRY WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED.

THANK YOU. ANDY, THANK YOU.

IF NO MORE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, AMY, WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

13 AYES, 13 AYES.

WE WILL SEND 24 AYES ZERO ONE TO THE FULL QUORUM COURT WITH THE DO PASS RECOMMENDATION.

AND THANK YOU, AMY, FOR RECOGNIZING JUSTICE MCCOY I FORGOT TO.

ALL RIGHT. AMY, WOULD YOU PLEASE READ 24-I-02.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE 23-OR-47 2024 ANNUAL BUDGET PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS TO RECOGNIZE AN APPROPRIATE GRANT FUNDS FOR THE YOUTH SERVICES DEPARTMENT.

JUSTICE BLACKWOOD.

I MOVE THAT WE SEND THIS TO THE FULL QUORUM COURT WITH A DO PASS RECOMMENDATION.

SECOND, A MOTION WAS MADE WITH THE SECOND THAT WE SEND 24-I-02 TO THE FULL QUORUM COURT WITH A DO PASS RECOMMENDATION.

JUSTICE BLACKWOOD, WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPLAIN OR DO WE HAVE SOMEONE ELSE? IS THERE ANYONE FROM.

I'M DIRECTOR SCOTT, YOUTH SERVICES.

THIS IS JUST A SMALL GRANT TO HELP US PROVIDE OUR ACT SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE ACROSS THE COUNTY.

LAST YEAR, WE PROUDLY SERVED CLOSE TO 700 YOUTH WITH OUR ACT PROGRAMS. AND SO WE'RE JUST OFF TO A START TRYING TO GET THAT NUMBER OR AT LEAST EXCEEDED THIS YEAR.

SO WE'RE REALLY FOCUSING ON THE SOUTHWEST AREA.

WE STARTED A PILOT PROGRAM OVER THERE LAST YEAR.

THE NUMBERS ARE NOT WHERE I WANT THEM TO BE, SO WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD CAPACITY BEFORE WE HAVE TO TAKE THAT PROGRAM OUT OF THAT COMMUNITY.

THEY BEGGED US FOR IT, SO NOW WE'RE JUST DOING WHAT WE CAN, BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT'S KIND OF HARD WHEN YOU GO INTO UNDERSERVED AREAS TO ACTUALLY GET THE KIDS TO THE SERVICES.

SO THIS WILL HELP US BE ABLE TO DO THAT WORK, PAY FOR THE TEACHERS, RENT, SUPPLIES, UM, NOT RENT.

UM, WE HAVE A FREE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK SOUTHWEST LOCATION, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT.

BUT THIS WILL JUST BE FOR CALCULATOR SUPPLIES, PAY FOR THE TEACHERS, INSTRUCTORS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

DO WE EVER GET NUMBERS ON ON THE SUCCESS OF INDIVIDUALS TAKING THE ACT TEST? YES, WE DO PRE AND POST TEST AND WE ALSO PAY FOR STUDENTS TO TAKE THE TESTS AS WELL, OKAY.

IF THEY SHOW A FINANCIAL NEED.

AND SO WE HAVE THOSE RESULTS AS WELL.

AND WE NORMALLY SUBMIT THOSE TO THE JUDGE.

SO I CAN. YEAH THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING JUST TO SEE UM BECAUSE IT'S A PROGRAM THAT WE'VE I GUESS WE VOTE TO SEND MONEY TO.

SO UH, JUST TO, TO KNOW THE NUMBERS WOULD BE HELPFUL TO ME.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS.

THANK YOU, DIRECTOR SCOTT.

UH, THANK YOU. AMY, WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON 24-I-02.

OKAY. UH, SO YOU GOT THOSE? ALL RIGHT. OKAY.

UH, MR. ELLIOTT. HOW DO YOU VOTE? VOTE? OH, YOU VOTED ALREADY? I'VE GOT YOU AT IT AS A SPONSOR, BUT NOW I'M CALLING ROLL.

YEAH. OKAY. YEAH.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

13 AYES, 13 AYES WE WILL SEND 24-I-02 TO THE FULL QUORUM COURT WITH A RECOMMENDED OR NO WITH THE DO PASS RECOMMENDATION.

AMY, WOULD YOU PLEASE READ 24-I-03.
