Greene County commissioners approved a transfer of appropriations to re‑open a purchase order and reallocate roughly $800,000 to the sanitary pump station elimination project, county staff said the amount stems from a 2024 purchase order that was inadvertently closed.

Nut graf: Staff described the action as an administrative reappropriation rather than new appropriations, explaining the purchase order had been closed and money needs to be re‑established so the project can proceed.

A staff presenter summarized the transfer packet and said, regarding the $800,000 item, "there was a 2024 purchase order that was inadvertently closed, so we need to reappropriate that money so we can open the PO again. So it's not really new money." Commissioners asked whether the payment represented a final payment; staff said they were "not a 100% sure, but if it's not, we're real close."

Background: The transcript records other transfer items (juvenile court appropriations, sheriff receipts) during the same agenda item; the sanitary item was described as part of routine financial housekeeping.

Next steps: Board approved the transfer of appropriations so county finance staff can re‑open the purchase order and continue project payments.
