A portion of fees collected are required to be remitted to other State Agencies; therefore, the budget needs to be increased to provide the authority for these fees to be remitted as required by NCGS.

5. Increase Article 46 Sales Tax Revenue and Rockingham Community College (RCC) Budget $1,000,000. Article 46 Sales Tax, dedicated to RCC Workforce Development initiatives, is exceeding original FY22 budget estimates and this amendment will ensure we have sufficient budget authorization to remit the amount collected to RCC through the remainder of the fiscal year.

Approval- Tax Refunds thru March 22, 2022

D) Rodney Stewart, RCEMS Operations Supervisor
Approval- EMS Financial Statement for February 2022
