Scotts Bluff County commissioners voted unanimously to approve a special claim run to ensure several invoices are paid in the current fiscal year. County staff said the preapproval packet was a one-page, front-and-back list and explained the action was intended to have the bills paid before the fiscal year end on June 30 for accounting purposes.

The board moved and seconded the motion and, after brief procedural remarks, the chair called the vote and reported five yeas. Staff indicated the preapproval was time‑sensitive to prevent payment of those items from slipping into the next fiscal year and requiring the county to pay the deductible again for claims that had crossed stop‑loss thresholds.

No dollar amounts were specified in the portion of the record provided to the board. The action was a routine fiscal-year closing step to ensure expenses are posted to the intended budget year.
