Logan County Fiscal Court adopts budget amendment, approves cash transfers
Summary
Logan County Fiscal Court on March 11 adopted a budget amendment (Ordinance 2520.01), acknowledged the treasurer's financial report and approved several cash transfers including $125,000 to the jail fund and $20,000 to the LGEA fund; the court also corrected a prior transfer misstatement.
Logan County Fiscal Court on March 11 adopted a budget amendment and approved a series of budget transfers and cash transfers, following the treasurer's monthly report. The court also acknowledged its monthly financial statement.
The treasurer presented the financial statement for the period ended Feb. 28, 2025, reporting balances across county funds including a general fund balance and specialized funds such as the occupational tax fund and ARPA fund. The court moved to acknowledge the report and approved the second reading and adoption of Ordinance 2520.01 (Budget Amendment No. 3), which records multiple unbudgeted receipts and increases several line items in the general fund and LGEA fund, and lists grants and reimbursements included in the amendment.
During the same meeting the court approved routine budget transfers and corrected a prior cash-transfer entry from the Feb. 25 meeting: a previously announced $30,000 transfer from the occupational net profits tax fund was corrected to show it went to the LGEA fund. The court then approved two cash transfers on March 11: $125,000 from the occupational net profits tax fund to the jail fund and $20,000 from the occupational net profits tax fund to the LGEA fund.
Clerks conducted roll call votes for the measures; the votes were recorded in the meeting minutes and the motions carried. The treasurer confirmed line‑item and fund balances reported in the audit packet. No changes to tax rates or new recurring levies were made during the votes; the actions were limited to one‑time transfers and a budget amendment to record newly received receipts and grant awards.
The court briefly discussed a significant invoice on the bills list related to a third payment for tasers for the sheriff's office, and members noted line‑item volume on the bills list before approving it.
The measures adopted at the meeting authorize staff to implement the budget changes and execute the transfers described. The court did not adopt any measure that changes recurring tax policy or new tax levies at this meeting.
