The Henry County Council approved several fund actions Tuesday: the special solid waste management budget and a set of transfers requested by the county park department, including funds for an emergency lift‑station repair.

Council members moved to adopt the special solid waste management fund (fund 8210) with an adopted budget of $380,424; the motion passed unanimously. Later, the parks department requested several transfers: $6,000 from gas and oil to gas and electric, $4,000 from gas and oil and $4,000 from land improvements and $20,000 from the superintendent salary line to Building and Structure Repair (line 11793011) for an emergency lift‑station repair. Council members approved each transfer by voice vote; the meeting transcript records unanimous approval.

A council member noted that part of the superintendent salary savings came because the parks department was without a superintendent for much of the year, leaving unspent funds available for the emergency repair. County staff confirmed the transfers were intended to cover urgent lift‑station repair work.

Why it matters: The lift station provides a critical utility function at county park facilities; the transfers reallocate budgeted but unspent funds to address immediate repair needs without increasing the overall county budget.

What remains open: Standard departmental reporting and reconciliation will follow; the transfers were approved and the county will proceed with the repair work.
