Northampton County GPA accepts amended treasurer's report and pays $35,410.78 in invoices

The Northampton County General Purpose Authority on March 4 accepted a corrected treasurer's report and approved payment of $35,410.78 in invoices.

The treasurer, Ron (treasurer), presented the financials: "The balance sheet shows total assets of 1,896,000 which consists mainly of our cash and cash equivalents of 1,064,928.36." He reported an ending fund balance of $1,089,400.57 and a year-to-date net loss of $2,785.66 for the general fund. The GPA capital project fund showed matching revenue and expenditures of $111,464, producing a net of $0.

Board members raised a date discrepancy in the packet: the balance sheet was labeled as of Feb. 1 while the income statement was dated March 31. A motion was made and seconded to amend the report heading to read "as of 03/01/2025" for the interest sections of the general fund and capital project fund; that amendment passed by voice vote.

Sarah (staff) reviewed invoices to be paid: "We have Alfred and Alfred Benish and Company for a total of $4,746.14. Norfolk Southern for $1,747.80. TRC which was for a bridge 1 24 beam inspection for $635.11. We have our audit from Riley and Company... first and second installments for a total of $11,533.33 and then, payable to DCED for first quarter admin services at $16,748.4 for a total of $35,410.78." The board moved to pay the invoices and approved the payment by voice vote.

The board approved the amended report "accept for audit as amended" and the invoice payments; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript and payments were approved by voice vote.

The Authority moved on to other agenda items after the votes.
