Board approves conversion of manual ledgers into RDA system; $2m in transfers are bookkeeping reclassifications
Summary
Supervisors approved multiple transfers totaling $1,081,000.22 and $937,425.95 to align manual ledger accounts with the RDA accounting system; county staff and pre-auditor ClearPoint created new funds. No new monies were added.
The board approved staff requests to transfer existing ledger balances into the county’s RDA accounting system so the pre-auditor and auditors can reconcile accounts more easily. County staff described the changes as bookkeeping reclassifications — not new appropriations.
County staff thanked Gail, Mary and Pam and Tamara with ClearPoint for creating new funds and redoing account structures to align with the RDA system. The first transfer approved was $1,081,000.22 and 54 cents for fiscal year 2025; the second was $937,425.95. Supervisors voted separately to approve each transfer.
Staff emphasized these are internal reorganizations of funds and not requests for additional money. One supervisor asked whether the change would make life easier for staff or just for the pre-auditor; staff said the conversion has been a lot of work and should improve tracking once complete.
Both motions passed by voice vote.
