During the meeting the commission voted to hold the minutes of the March 12 and March 19 meetings until Commissioner Stadee returns (motion made and seconded; voice vote recorded \"Aye\"). Commissioners approved personnel items including continued seasonal employment for John Corrigan as a golf associate (effective March 25, 2025), the resignation of Carol Graham, senior clerk (effective March 21, 2025), a notice of address change for Selena Humphrey (effective March 27, 2025), contingent student laborer hires for Isabelle Rose Fitzpatrick and Mary Tessa Masnick (effective April 3, 2025), and a contingent substitute instructor appointment for Carlos Terron (effective March 25, 2025).

The commission approved payroll and expense warrants: county payroll (25-39) for $147,963.25; school payroll (25-39 subsection 20) for $386,771.76; and county expense warrant (04/01/25) for $97,287.56. Commissioners also voted to accept the January 31, 2025 trial balance as presented.

Register Chen spoke to a supplemental budget request for fiscal 2025 from the Registry of Deeds. He said the registry previously submitted a supplemental in December and again in February; the most recent request was described as \"under $20,000\" to carry the registry through June 30, 2025. Chen told commissioners the county mandate for the registry this year is $3,082,640.82 and that the requested increases for groups 2 and 3 would not cause spending above that mandate. The commission moved to take the supplemental request under advisement so Commissioner Stadee could review the later letter; that motion passed by voice vote.

Other nonvoting announcements during the meeting included an alert about an upcoming high-profile trial expected to increase courthouse visitors and parking demand, the county's advisory board meeting scheduled for April 16 at the Norfolk County Agricultural High School (finance committee 5:00 p.m., advisory 6:00 p.m.), and a reported incident at county tennis courts where visitors displaced a school team; the county reported the incident to Quincy police and the school department.

Director Quaran explained the change during the meeting, saying the county had drawn a $60,000 cost to the wrong ledger line in the Tyler accounting system and that the amount properly belongs to the schools. \"That cost belonged to the schools, not the county,\" Quaran said, and added the revision \"does not impact the budget at all.\" Commissioners then moved, seconded and approved the revised indirect-cost allocation.

The revision was presented as an affirmation of the FY26 proposed budget previously approved by the commission. Quaran described the correction as a reclassification of an expense line — not a change in the total budgeted dollars — and asked the commission to \"affirm and revote inclusively the indirect costs associated with the FY26 proposed budget,\" limited to the $60,000 shift.

A motion to shift the $60,000 from the county to the Norfolk County Agricultural High School (referred to in the meeting as the \"Aggie School\") was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. Meeting minutes show the commission recorded an \"Aye\" and proceeded without further changes to the previously adopted FY26 budget.

The commission's action resolved an accounting misattribution identified after the board voted the overall FY26 budget the prior week. No changes to revenue assumptions, tax rates or total spending authority were presented at the April 2 vote.

The commission will publish the corrected indirect-cost line in its FY26 packet and continue budget implementation according to the adopted schedule.","On April 2 the Norfolk County Commission voted to revise FY26 indirect-cost allocations after a county accounting mislabeling, shifting $60,000 from the county to the schools; officials said the change does not alter the overall budget.","actionData","errors"]
