The Greene County Board of Supervisors met Monday in regular session.

During open forum, the Board discussed putting together a committee to decide on funding to apply for through the American Rescue Plan. 

The Board then approved a resolution for drainage district assessments and waiver rates for those that had a negative fund balance. The waiver rate is six-percent from 30 days after the date of assessment on May 24th for assessments greater than $500. Additionally, the Board held a public hearing on a budget amendment for the current fiscal year. The major revenues included $400,000 from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds. The major expenses included $325,000 for the bike trail bridge repair project, funding to be reimbursed from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), $50,000 to the Greene County Early Learning Center and $18,500 to law enforcement for working overtime. The budget amendment was approved following the hearing.
