Clinton County Council unanimously approved a package of additional appropriations and transfers at its meeting, covering small refunds, a software upgrade, highway oil for chip-seal projects and grant-funded peer recovery services.
The Clinton County Council unanimously approved a slate of additional appropriations and transfers at its meeting.
Among the appropriations the council approved were an $86.88 refund from Parkview reallocated to the general fund food line, $18,775 for an upgrade to the Schneider Beacon program in the assessor's office, and $280,000 from the highway restricted fund to purchase oil for ongoing chip-seal projects. The county recorder's perpetuation fund received $8,106.26 to complete a multi-year imaging project; the council heard that the appropriation finishes a project started in 2022 and remains below the original contract quote.
Other items approved included $1,575.52 in Trex program refunds for the probation department, $612.52 for a drainage tax settlement, a $1,000 transfer from the veterans monument fund for upkeep, $238.18 in project income for community corrections' Trex collections, and a quarterly payroll allocation of $58,134.16 processed for the Wildcat solid waste district through the county auditor. The probation opioid grant received an appropriation of $24,000 for continued peer recovery coach program use.
Transfers approved included $92.32 in the clerk's office (office supplies to refunds), $44,650 within Area Plan Commission budget from an empty inspector position to contractual services to pay an outside contractor for building inspections, $500 from extra help to interpreter fees for Superior Court, $11,256 in the health department moving a vacant administrator salary to an interim administrator contract position, and multiple EMS line transfers to reallocate unused paramedic salary lines to part-time and overtime.
The auditor provided an updated year-to-date budget status and monthly fund-balance report; the council unanimously acknowledged receipt of those reports for the State Board of Accounts. Motions to approve the appropriations and transfers passed on unanimous recorded votes.
Council members said the month's slate was "pretty straightforward," and the recorder and other department representatives were present to answer technical or project-specific questions when requested.
