Worth County supervisors approve FY25 budget amendment and several routine claims, contracts
Summary
The Worth County Board of Supervisors approved a fiscal year 2025 budget amendment (Resolution 2025-17) after a public hearing and voted to carry several routine contracts, claims and professional services agreements during the meeting; no public comments were offered during the hearing.
The Worth County Board of Supervisors closed a public hearing and approved a fiscal year 2025 budget amendment, adopted as Resolution 2025-17, and carried a set of routine motions including claims, contract authorizations and professional services agreements during its meeting. The public hearing on the budget amendment drew no public comments before the board voted to approve the resolution.
The budget amendment included internal transfers and line-item adjustments the county described as necessary to correct account balances and cover projected year-end needs. County staff said about $700,000 was being moved temporarily to restore a positive capital fund balance with plans to repay that amount from the highway fund; other adjustments addressed drainage assessments, fiscal agent fees, and medical examiner contingencies.
In addition to the budget vote, the board approved multiple routine items on the consent and business calendars: minutes and claims; road and bridge professional services agreements; drainage claims; payroll eligibility verification; a stock tank liquor/cigarette license; and an employee-handbook update concerning delivery-fee reimbursement for overnight conference meals. The board recessed and later adjourned at the end of the meeting.

What the board did not do
- No substantive policy changes beyond handbook clarifications were adopted in the meeting. The employee-handbook change was limited to permitting reimbursement for delivery fees in specified circumstances; the board did not adopt a countywide comp-time policy during the meeting but discussed leaving comp/overtime decisions to departments and finalizing handbook language.
Context and next steps
County staff will finalize handbook language for final approval and follow up on the FY25 budget amendment bookkeeping. The county indicated it will continue design and bidding work on planned bridge and building projects and will return when additional formal approvals or borrowing steps are needed.
