The Pulaski County Council is expected to adopt the county’s 2018 budget when it meets tonight. This comes after council members made an additional round of cuts to the proposal last week. That included giving county employees a one-percent raise, rather than two-percent, and denying a request from Superior Court to add a second public defender. They also plan to shift $200,000 in 911 dispatchers’ salaries out of the county’s General Fund.
In other business, several budget transfer requests are expected to be presented for council members’ approval. Tonight’s Pulaski County Council meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. EDT at the Pulaski County Courthouse, following a joint session with the county commissioners at 6:00.
