Polk County approves several budget amendments, property sales and appointments
Summary
At the January meeting the Polk County legislative body approved multiple budget amendments (items 15–21), reappointed agriculture-extension committee members, and authorized sale of three parcels of county property.
Polk County commissioners approved a package of routine administrative actions and appointments at the meeting, including a set of budget amendments, several property sales and agriculture-extension reappointments.
Budget amendments approved included line-item transfers and appropriations across departments: a $500 transfer within the library budget (agenda item 15); $2,500 added to an elections fund (16); $18,500 for accounting and county-executive office software and hardware upgrades (17); $30,556.62 returned to fund 101 (separated as item 18 and considered individually); $12,000 in fund 101 (19); $1,079.97 to purchase bridge monitors for dual-entry capability (20); and a transfer of $2,000,000 within Westport Fire and Rescue lines (21). Commissioners recorded votes for these items in roll calls noted in the transcript.
The board also approved three county property sales described as parcels on Timber Ridge Circle, Deer Run Lane and Highway 68 (resolution on sale of county property). The county attorney or staff read the resolution aloud before the body voted to offer the parcels for sale during the relevant redemption period and to set starting bid amounts as described in the resolution packet.
Agriculture-extension appointments: The body approved reappointments (two-year terms) for members of the county agriculture extension committee whose terms were expiring; the item cites a letter from Greg Plaxton and references state statute permitting reappointment for two-year terms.
Votes on these items were taken by roll call and passed; the transcript records the votes and roll-call answers for each approved item.
