Court adopts budget amendment adding state parks grants and approves cash transfers
Summary
The fiscal court adopted a budget amendment that includes a $3 million state grant to the parks and recreation fund and approved two cash transfers from the occupational net profits tax fund to the jail and LGEA funds.
County Treasurer Amanda presented the second reading and adoption of a budget amendment (listed on the agenda as Ordinance No. 25220‑O3, Amendment No. 4) that, according to staff, adds multiple unbudgeted receipts including a state grants entry to the parks and recreation fund. Amanda said the parks and recreation fund will receive a state grant increase of $3,000,000 and described smaller adjustments for insurance reimbursements and vehicle maintenance codes across general and 911 funds as shown in the packet.
During the session the court also approved a set of budget transfers and two cash transfers: $110,000 from the occupational net profits tax fund to the jail fund and $20,000 from the occupational net profits tax fund to the LGEA fund. Motions to adopt the amendment and to approve transfers passed on roll call votes with yes votes recorded from the members present.
The treasurer and commissioners discussed the uses of the LGEA fund (local economic development/airport contributions/animal shelter and community events) when members asked how the fund is expended. The court approved the measures as presented; staff indicated the ordinance and transfer details are in the meeting packet for line‑by‑line amounts and codes.
