Commission approves budget adjustments to cover prior‑year invoices and reclassifications (Res. 2025‑90)
Summary
The commission approved a multi‑line budget adjustment (resolution 2025‑90) to reconcile reimbursements, cover prior fiscal‑year invoices for the detention center, reclassify fire‑fund expenditures and adjust supplies and training line items; commissioners discussed negative line‑item balances and p‑card controls.
The Colfax County Commission approved Resolution 2025‑90, a set of budget adjustments and reclassifications presented by finance staff.
Finance explained the package included reimbursement revenue for clerk elections, a small increase for airport operations related to village credit‑card refunds, and the only requested expenditure increase to cover prior‑year professional and IT invoices for the Hill Maldonado Detention Center ($1,356 and $8,343). The package also included a reclassification in the County Fire Marshal fund to correct an $11,000 negative balance and several manager’s‑office reclassifications tied to purchase‑card charges.
Commissioners asked whether the detention center had remaining funds from the prior year and whether supplies had sufficient balances to sustain the reclassifications. Finance confirmed roughly $11,000 remained in the applicable prior‑year lines and that supplies carried a balance sufficient to absorb the requested adjustments. Commissioners also reiterated the need for improved internal controls at the purchase‑card level to reduce subsequent journaling and reallocation of charges.
The commission approved the adjustments by motion and roll call.
