Board approves multiple fiscal transfers to begin the new fiscal year, including $20,000 for veterans relocation allocation
Summary
The board passed a series of housekeeping resolutions to transfer funds between county accounts for the new fiscal year, including a $20,000 transfer to a veterans relocation allocation fund, a transfer from gaming funds to soil and water districts, a small per‑basis transfer to secondary roads, and creation funding for a capital projects fund.
County finance staff presented multiple routine fiscal transfer resolutions needed at the start of the fiscal year and the board approved them by roll call. Becky Linahan, a finance and tax officer in the auditor’s office, presented the resolutions and described the items as housekeeping following the new fiscal year.
Key approved actions included: - Resolution No. 52‑25: transfer from the gaming fund to West Pottawatomie Soil and Water Conservation District and East Pottawatomie Soil and Water Conservation District structure funds (presented as routine). The board recorded a roll call with Chairman Bell and five supervisors voting “aye.” - Resolution No. 53‑2025: transfer from the general fund to a veterans relocation allocation fund to ensure $20,000 is available in the new fiscal year; staff said the fund is typically spent and the transfer establishes the FY starting balance. The roll call recorded all supervisors voting “aye.” - Resolution No. 54‑25: transfer from the general basic fund to the secondary road fund described as the 2¢ transfer (presented as routine tax revenue allocation); the board approved by roll call. - Resolution No. 55‑24: transfer from the general fund to a newly established capital project fund to build a capital reserve; approved by roll call. - Resolution No. 56‑2025: transfer from the general fund to the general supplemental fund related to 9‑1‑1 budgeting. Finance staff said the transfer corrects a budgeting error (the general sub fund was used when it should not have been) and said the state’s changes to phone fee allocation could reduce future revenue to the county by an amount staff estimated in the discussion but said exact figures were not yet available; one speaker estimated the state might take about $100,000 from the county’s 9‑1‑1 phone fee allocation but staff said exact figures were “not specified.” - Resolution related to partial self‑funding of county insurance (listed on agenda as 57‑2025): board approved a transfer from the general fund to the general supplemental fund for partial self‑funding of insurance.
All resolutions presented in this block were approved by roll call; recorded votes in the transcript show unanimous “aye” votes for the items presented. No board member proposed amendments on the record.
Ending: Staff said the transfers were routine housekeeping for the start of the fiscal year; the auditors and finance staff will proceed with accounting and any required budget amendments if state allocations change.
