Woods County commissioners approve internal appropriation transfers, acknowledge grant reimbursement and reconvene Equalization Board
Summary
Commissioners approved multiple internal budget transfers affecting highway and extension payroll accounts, acknowledged a Homeland Security grant reimbursement, and adjourned to reconvene the Equalization Board, according to the meeting transcript.
Woods County commissioners approved a series of internal appropriation transfers and acknowledged a Homeland Security grant reimbursement during a meeting; the board then adjourned to reconvene the Equalization Board. The transcript does not specify the meeting date.
The transfers included moving funds within highway payroll accounts and a request from the county extension office to reclassify several budget lines into full‑time personal services. Commissioners also acknowledged a Homeland Security grant reimbursement that staff said had been received.
The highway transfers recorded in the transcript were described as an acknowledgment of transfers “from highway d 1 to the IRB to highway d 1 personal services” in the amount shown in the audio as $12,003.33 (the recording includes extra trailing digits that are unclear). A corresponding transfer for “highway d 2” was read with the same dollar amount in the transcript. Commissioners approved those transfers by voice vote with the record indicating two “ayes.”
Staff told the board they would not move funds from the Homeland Security grant into the general fund because the grant funds had been reimbursed; the transcript captures a reimbursement amount of $9,000 and notes that paperwork will need signatures.
The county’s extension office asked that funds be moved from part‑time, travel and capital outlay lines into full‑time personal services to pay an extension employee. The transcript lists the source lines as OSU part‑time ($15,600), travel ($6,000) and capital outlay ($3,000) for a total of $24,600 to be moved into full‑time salaries. An extension representative explained the office has multiple staff (the transcript counts four staff present in the office) and prefers the money be paid out of full‑time salary rather than part‑time lines. Commissioners acknowledged and approved that transfer.
The board discussed an application described in the transcript as “temporary progress for fiscal year 02/2026”; the item was handled in sequence with other departmental forms and signatures, but the transcript does not provide further detail on the nature or outcome of that application.
At the conclusion of business, a commissioner moved and another seconded to adjourn the county meeting and reconvene as the Equalization Board; the motion passed on a voice vote recorded as two “ayes.” The transcript includes references to upcoming dates (phrased as “the sixteenth and the twentieth/nineteenth”) but does not clearly state the calendar month or the specific meeting schedule.
Actions recorded in the transcript were procedural acknowledgments and internal transfers; no ordinance, resolution number, or external contract award was presented or adopted in the portions of the transcript provided.
