Commission consolidates older countywide sales‑tax fund into single reserve account
Summary
The commission voted unanimously to transfer Countywide Sales Tax Fund 897 (about $213,009.61) into Reserve Fund 250, consolidating balances to simplify reporting and to put reserve cash into a single account
Finance Director Mark Seltner proposed a journal entry to combine the older countywide sales tax fund (fund 897) into the county reserve fund (fund 250) to simplify tracking and reporting. Seltner told commissioners the $213,009.61 balance in Fund 897 was pre–current dedicated sales-tax collections and should be consolidated; county counselor confirmed the transfer is permitted by statute and the funds may be consolidated after expenses are satisfied.
A motion to consolidate Fund 897 into Reserve Fund 250 was made and seconded; commissioners approved the transfer by voice vote (recorded as "Aye. Aye. Passes") with the motion recorded as passing 3–0. Seltner said the consolidation will show a combined reserve balance of $561,730.30 as of March 4, 2025, for reporting and budgeting simplicity.
