Commissioners approve budget amendments, $16,124 transfer and a district attorney copier lease
Summary
The Board approved three budget amendments and transfers, including a $16,124 transfer for district attorney IT upgrades, and accepted a 60‑month copier lease for the district attorney’s office at $222 per month.
Lawrence County commissioners on July 29 approved several budget amendments, internal transfers and a district attorney equipment lease.
Budget amendments included resolution 218 (jail grant revenue carryover of $22,416 for inmate-related supplies and expenses) and resolution 219 (unbudgeted Ag Preservation Board revenue of $32,366 moved to the board’s expense account). The Board also approved resolution 220, a $16,124 transfer from the district attorney’s toxicology line to maintenance and repair to pay for IT upgrades including Ethernet installation and a sonic wall for the county’s report management system. The chair said the transfer funds were available within the DA’s budget and did not require additional county funds.
Separately, the Board approved a 60‑month lease for a second copier in the district attorney’s office (resolution 206). The DA’s representative told commissioners the monthly lease payment is $222 and that funds are available in the office’s current budget. The Board voted to approve the lease by roll call.
Why it matters: the transfers and amendments allow agencies to move funds to cover specific operational needs without increasing the county’s overall appropriation; the copier lease formalizes procurement of office equipment for the district attorney’s investigative offices.
Details recorded in the meeting: the $16,124 transfer was described as coming from the DA’s toxicology line and moving to maintenance and repair for network/security device installation. The jail grant carryover amount (IRP grant) was listed at $22,416 for general supplies; the Ag Preservation Board carryover was $32,366.
What’s next: the controller’s office will post the budget adjustments and the DA and IT will complete the Ethernet/sonic wall installation for the report management system.
