Commission approves $80,200 transfer to cover aging services meal-cost shortfall
Summary
Morgan County commissioners approved a budget change moving $80,200 to cover increased meal costs in the county’s aging services program after staff described expected near-term needs and the possibility of a larger request next fiscal year.
County staff briefed the Morgan County Commission about a budget shortfall in aging services tied to rising meal costs and requested an $80,200 transfer to cover expenses through January.
Staff and commissioners discussed whether the higher figure of roughly $161,000 reported elsewhere reflected this year’s shortfall or a projected amount for next fiscal year. County staff said the immediate need is about $80,000 depending on federal and state funding decisions; staff indicated aging services will present a formal budget request to the commission in July for next fiscal-year considerations.
Commissioner Newton moved to approve a budget adjustment of $80,200 for Health and Human Services, moved from GL 10-2951-000-000 to the health and human services account. Commissioner Blocker seconded the motion. The motion passed on a voice vote with “aye” responses from commissioners present.
Staff said the larger $161,000 figure discussed reflects a potential full-year impact under some funding scenarios but that the commission would revisit the matter when aging services delivers its formal budget request in July.
