Commissioners approve small budget transfers for voters, mental health and district attorney
Summary
Lawrence County commissioners approved transfers June 10 moving $4,500 into voter services postage, $50,000 within Mental Health & Developmental Services to maintenance and repairs, and $10,000 in the District Attorney’s budget from contingency to vehicle expense.
On June 10 the Lawrence County Board of Commissioners approved several departmental transfers: a $4,500 transfer from the commissioners’ contingency to the voter services postage line, a $50,000 transfer within Mental Health and Developmental Services from ID services base to maintenance and repairs, and a $10,000 transfer from contingency to vehicle expense for the District Attorney’s office.
The nut graf: Commissioners said the transfers reflect routine fiscal adjustments as departments approach fiscal-year ends; the board approved each transfer by roll call after staff presented the requests.
Specifically, voter services requested $4,500 to cover postage and commissioners approved moving contingency funds into the appropriate line. Mental health and developmental services requested $50,000 to cover maintenance and repairs as fiscal-year needs were clarified; county staff said such transfers are expected as the fiscal year closes. The District Attorney requested a $10,000 transfer for vehicle expense from contingency.
Each transfer was made by motion and approved by roll call with all present commissioners voting yes. No further detail on vendor payments or specific maintenance projects was provided at the meeting. Commissioners said they expected additional similar transfers as departments manage year-end budgets.
