Board approves accounts payable and payroll runs, including year‑end bond payment

At the July 3 meeting the Rockingham County Board of Commissioners approved several accounts payable and payroll motions that closed out fiscal‑year obligations.

The board approved an accounts payable list dated July 3, 2025, totaling $1,259,415.58. Separately the board approved an additional AP run referenced at $800,363.26, which staff said included the scheduled July bond payment for fiscal year 2026 obligations. Commissioners voted to approve payroll for the biweekly pay period; the payroll motion as read into the record referenced a payroll warrant amount (as stated in the packet) and staff noted the figure was larger than a typical biweekly payroll because the county’s employer contributions to employees’ health savings accounts were included in the submission.

All motions were seconded and passed without roll‑call opposition; commissioners recorded yes votes for each motion. Staff explained the larger payroll amount included employer HSA contributions and that removing those contributions would show base biweekly payroll below $1,500,000.

No further fiscal action was taken during the meeting; staff will continue to reconcile year‑end entries as part of normal closeout procedures.
