Commission approves routine budget amendments after auditor's report
Summary
The commission unanimously approved auditor-requested budget amendments to correct overspent funds for 2024; auditor said most amendments reflect receipt of revenues and were procedural.
The St. Francois County Commission approved budget amendments the county auditor presented to reconcile 2024 fund overspending and revenue receipts.
Auditor Amber (last name not provided in transcript) told commissioners that 17 funds had exceeded their expense budgets and that a majority of the requested amendments reflect receipt of revenue that offsets the overages. She said five amendment requests were simple over‑expenditures while others were offset by incoming revenue. The auditor said statute requires the county to show budgets that are not negative and the amendments make the financial statements accurate.
A commissioner moved to approve the auditor's budget amendments for the 02/2024 budget, a second was offered, and the motion passed with commissioners voting "aye." The auditor said the changes are procedural and that all affected funds have revenues available to cover the adjustments.
Ending: The commission recorded the amendments and closed that agenda item; no additional policy action was taken.
