Board approves transfer to cover $15,000 medical-insurance shortfall
Summary
The board voted 4-0 to transfer funds from other lines to cover a roughly $15,000 shortfall in the health insurance line and directed staff to identify the specific lines to draw from.
At the meeting, a board member moved and the board approved a transfer from available budget lines to cover a shortfall in employee medical insurance. "Probably about 15,000, I would think," a board member said when the amount was discussed.
The mover said the motion was to utilize available funds from other lines to transfer to the health-care line so it could cover the balance for the rest of the year. The motion was seconded and approved by voice and hand vote, recorded as 4-0 in favor. After the vote, the presiding officer said they would work with Joel, Director, to make the adjustment.
Discussion: Board members noted the health-insurance allocation had been set for one person in prior budgets and now must be adjusted for two. One member said they had not yet included the change in the 2026 budget but could do so when preparing that budget.
Decision versus direction: The board made a formal decision to transfer funds now (4-0). They also directed staff (Chair and Joel) to identify specific budget lines and implement the transfer; no specific account names were called out during the meeting.
