Background and Discussion:

On November 12, 2024, Court allocated a limited budget, not to exceed $100,000, to support newly elected officials transitioning into office to increase the speed and efficiency of leadership transitions in County departments.

 

These funds were to be used to help begin the transition of a County office from one elected official to another. The ability to begin that transition quickly positions the departments to continue to provide vital county services seamlessly.
