McClure Wants $2.5 Million From CARES Act For Hazard Pay, IT

Executive Lamont McClure is asking Northampton County Council to approve a transfer of $2.5 million from CARES Act funding to the county's general fund. This is to reimburse the county for $621,485.10 in hazard pay for county workers at the jail, Juvenile Justice Center and in Human Sources. Gracedale workers were also paid hazard pay, but funding for that comes from a different source. The remaining $1,878,514.90 is to reimburse the county for IT expenses related to remote work and teleconferencing options, including a mobile broadcasting center.

If approved, this will leave the county with $2-3 million.
