Countryside Adult Home’s proposed 2024 payroll transfer withdrawn after committee notes year-end restriction
Summary
Countryside Adult Home asked to reclassify roughly $30,000 from full-time to part-time salaries but county staff said 2024 transfers are no longer allowed; committee recorded the motion but noted no action required.
Countryside Adult Home requested a budget transfer on Jan. 21, 2025, to move funds into part-time salaries after the facility reported shortfalls for 2024. Committee members were told a transfer would be needed, but county staff said transfers for 2024 can no longer be processed and the item was recorded as withdrawn for formal action.
"So we ran a little short in 24 for the part time salaries, so I need to move 30,000. And honestly, it's not quite 30,000," said Amy, representing Countryside Adult Home, describing the department’s plan to reclassify funds from full-time salaries into the part-time code to cover overtime and per-diem costs.
The committee moved the request to the floor (motion by Supervisor Strainer, second by Supervisor Runyon) and voted. Later in the discussion county staff clarified that because the request involved 2024 monies the county "no longer do[es] the 2024 transfers," and that such adjustments would instead be handled in internal transfers through February where applicable. The minutes will show the motion but note the action is not necessary.
Why it matters: the reclassification affects payroll accounting and how overtime and per-diem costs are charged, which can influence year-end balances and reporting for the Countryside Adult Home — a county-supported adult-care facility.
The committee did not formally adopt the transfer as a binding action because staff determined the county cannot process 2024 transfers at this stage. Members were told funds can still be shifted within certain 2024 codes through internal transfers processed in February if the department has available balances.
No vote tally naming nay or abstentions was recorded beyond committee members saying "aye" when the motion was called; staff instructed that the minutes will note the motion and that no further action is required.
