Wilson County judicial committee approves transfer of up to $12,000 from part‑time to full‑time payroll
Summary
The Judicial Committee voted to move up to $12,000 from part‑time payroll to full‑time payroll to cover raises and staffing changes for the judicial office; the change will be submitted to the county budget office for formal amendment.
The Wilson County Judicial Committee voted to transfer up to $12,000 from the committee’s part‑time payroll line to its full‑time payroll line to cover recently approved raises and recent full‑time staffing changes.
The request was presented as a budget resolution in new business. Committee member Stacy said the judicial office has more than enough funding remaining in the part‑time payroll line for the rest of the fiscal year and requested the transfer to cover pay adjustments for two employees. Finance staff LeBronia confirmed the part‑time allocation still had available funds; committee members discussed the mechanics of requesting a formal amendment from budget and asked that finance prepare the paperwork.
Committee members discussed alternatives, including having the director advance pay pending a formal budget amendment; several members said the preferred path was to move the funds now and have finance process the formal amendment promptly so payroll lines remain positive. The committee agreed the transfer would be recorded as “not to exceed $12,000” to allow minor rounding and to avoid a second meeting for small final adjustments.
The committee voted in favor of the transfer and directed staff to bring the resolution to the county budget office for processing. Committee members said the transfer was intended to prevent shortfalls in the full‑time payroll line while HR and budget complete step‑placement and classification tasks for several employees.
Next steps: staff will deliver the approved resolution to the budget office for formal amendment and accounting; the committee will confirm the final amount once finance provides the exact figure.
