Geary County approves $60,000 transfer from fire fund to fire reserve
Summary
The Geary County Commission approved a resolution to move $60,000 from a fire fund into a fire reserve after Finance Director Kimmy Robinson reported the department’s cash and budget positions support the transfer.
The Geary County Commission on an administrative motion approved transferring $60,000 from a fire fund into the county’s fire reserve.
Finance Director Kimmy Robinson told the commission the department’s budget and cash balance could support the transfer. “His budget has a hundred and $15,009.19 remaining as of this point in time, and his cash is a hundred and $27,007.12. So he's in good shape to be able to do this and still stay within the budget parameters,” Robinson said.
Robinson recommended approval of Resolution 12 30 20 24 to move the $60,000 into the fire reserve, saying the remaining cash would cover expected end-of-year and January expenses. Commissioners voted in favor and the motion carried; an exact roll call was not recorded in the transcript.
The resolution was signed by commissioners so the transfer can be executed and copies will be retained by the clerk and county offices, Robinson said.
Background: Robinson presented the transfer during the department and finance report, noting cash-on-hand and remaining budgeted amounts. The commission did not discuss changes to the department’s operating budget beyond the transfer in the meeting record.
The commission did not publish a dollar-by-dollar breakdown of ongoing expenses tied to the fire fund in the meeting record. Follow-up on how the reserve will be used or reported to the commission was not specified during the discussion.
