After a series of budget committee meetings, then a special meeting of the full court, the Faulkner County Quorum Court passed its 2021 budget Dec. 17 during a two-hour meeting.
The budget review was scheduled to take place at the courtâs regular meeting Dec. 15, but two justices had not yet reviewed the final budget submitted by the committee due to confusion over an email sent by Faulkner County Clerk Margaret Darter, and a special meeting was called for Dec. 17 so the justices would be able to review the final proposed budget.
The majority of the justices attended the meetings, both the formal court meeting and budget committee hearings, by Zoom call to comply with public health standards.
