From the Daily Star:
DELHI — Delaware County officials on Wednesday authorized nearly $200,000 in year-end budget transfers to cover the cost of employee overtime after the June 27 flood.
Three resolutions, each approved unanimously by the board members, moved funding to separate accounts in the budget for the Department of Public Works. The county’s mechanics, road crews, engineering and administrative staffs put in many hours of overtime to help open roads and bridges and clear debris.
“Every employee in the department went above and beyond the call of duty under difficult circumstances” in the days after the flood, Public Works Commissioner Wayne Reynolds said through his secretary.
The cost of the overtime is being reimbursed fully by federal and state sources, with FEMA picking up 75 percent of the cost.
