Hamilton County Council approves series of transfers and additional appropriations totaling millions
Summary
At a public hearing the county council approved multiple transfers and additional appropriations, including a $4.5 million transfer tied to airport funding and a $2.8 million Community Crossings grant match among other line-item increases.
The Hamilton County Council opened a public hearing and approved a package of transfers, additional appropriations and budget amendments affecting multiple county departments and funds.
Council members approved a $4,500,000 transfer from a commissioner-held account (noted on the record as y 9 to 4,300-00 buildings to 6,100-00) and subsequently approved an airport authority request for an additional appropriation of $4,500,000. The transcript notes the money had been moved from the commissioners and that the airport appropriation was approved after council members said they had approved the transfer the prior month.
Other approved items on the record included: a motor vehicle highway restricted additional appropriation of $1,401,208.78; a Community Crossings Matching Grant appropriation of $2,802,417.78; Parks and Recreation appropriations of $539,000 and $5,000; opioid restricted funds of $578,000; a buildings and grounds additional appropriation of $102,616.04; court administration and other departmental 144 amendments and additional appropriations (examples on the record include $103,989.72 for court administration and $140,949.45 for FS FSSA VR services); a highway inspection fund request for $38,300; and miscellaneous council and department line items recorded during the public hearing.
Most motions were moved and seconded on the record and carried with the council answering “Aye.” One grant item recorded an atypical amount on the transcript (pretrial supervision grant requesting an additional appropriation of 14¢); that figure was stated on the record but not explained during the meeting.
The public hearing was closed after the package of amendments and appropriations was approved; no public commenters spoke during the hearing, and the council proceeded to announcements and adjournment.
