Medina County commissioners approve budget adjustments, social services levy transfers and $965,440.43 in weekly bills

Brett Thomas, finance, presented eight finance resolutions to the Board of Medina County Commissioners on Tuesday; the board approved all eight by roll call.

Thomas said the largest amendment relates to the social services levy and associated departmental transfers. He described one appropriation adjustment to move social-services-levy funds into the departments that receive those funds. He explained cash transfers and expenditure adjustments were largely administrative moves related to grant agreements that shift expenses out of the general fund.

He summarized the eight items as: an amendment to the annual budget appropriation for the social services levy; transfers of appropriations; expenditure adjustments for various funds tied to grant agreements; revenue adjustments (including correcting a misapplied sanitary deposit); the cash transfer representing half of the year's social services levy allocation distributed as 50% to Job and Family Services, 30% to the Mental Health Recovery Board, and 20% to McSAS; quarterly cash transfers for other funds; expenses of county officials including attendance at the County Commissioners Association of Ohio symposium; and weekly bills in the amount of $965,440.43.

The board approved the package by roll call after brief clarifying questions. Commissioner Harrison asked about access to senior services details; Thomas indicated relevant backup was available.

Commissioners authorized the transfers and adjustments as described and approved the weekly bills. Thomas said the transfers are routine fiscal housekeeping tied to grant reimbursements and levy allocations.
