Commission approves budget revisions, festival request and routine invoices
Summary
The commission approved multiple budget revisions (including coal-severance funds), allocated $1,500 to the Hampshire County Arts & Music Festival for June, and approved invoices since the prior meeting.
Clerk staff presented several budget revisions and asked the commission to approve funds moving into county revenue accounts, including coal-severance allocations. The clerk explained that some receipts from coal severance are split (50 percent to parks and rec or the convention and visitors bureau, depending on line item).
Commissioners approved the requested budget revisions, including a set labeled "revision number 4." The clerk noted that one festival request — the Hampshire County Arts & Music Festival scheduled for June 6 at the lot in front of the Judicial Center — sought $1,500 for this fiscal year; commissioners moved and approved that allocation.
The commission also reviewed and approved the invoices submitted since the prior meeting. President Eglenger moved to approve invoices; the motion passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: The budget revisions change how specific incoming funds will be recorded and used in the current fiscal year; the festival allocation commits county support this year rather than waiting for next-year budget appropriations.
