Staff reported on the dispatch fund and a planned transfer to cover the department's costs.
"Would you look at the interest that we're getting and On the dispatch fund, you know, we created this special fund for that department. And last year, we only had to put 200,000 in because we had some carryover from the year before. But that was all used up this year. So our, transfer into the dispatch is 400,000 this year," Speaker 2, a staff member, said.
The transcript notes that staff will need to address related SP22 items (an internal reference in the meeting), and participants discussed reviewing spreadsheets and cash balances to reconcile payments and interest postings. No vote or formal appropriation to execute the transfer appears in the transcript; the conversation remained at the reporting and planning stage.
Participants also discussed interest earnings in several funds and reviewed budget pages to verify posted amounts.
