Tippecanoe County Council OKs park online payments, approves multiple appropriations including $116,210 in opioid-restricted funds
Summary
At its Aug. 12 meeting the Tippecanoe County Council approved a resolution allowing the Park Board to accept electronic payments and passed a series of budget appropriations for courts, bridges, juvenile services, law enforcement equipment and opioid-response programs.
Tippecanoe County Council on Aug. 12 approved a resolution letting the County Park Board accept electronic payments for online reservations and voted to appropriate funds for several county programs, including $116,210 from opioid-restricted settlement funds.
The action came after the council heard financial updates from county staff showing the general fund and county investments remain on track for the year. Auditor Jennifer reported the general fund began the year with a net balance of $7,996,572 and that the county has granted additional appropriations totaling $3,571,736. Treasury staff Yadira reported the county ended July with a cash balance of $192,007,508.38 and an average weighted interest rate of 4.58% for the month.
Why it matters: Allowing online payments will let parks staff collect reservation fees electronically instead of relying on cash or checks, while the appropriations direct money to ongoing county operations and programs, including opioid-response efforts and equipment for crash reconstruction.
