The Boyle County Fiscal Court approved a weekly bills packet that the county clerk said totaled $1,533,933.04 and, after late additions for equipment and enterprise charges, rose to $2,070,520.44 during the Nov. 10 meeting. "Your all's bill packet this week totals $1,533,933.04," county clerk Elena said; she later calculated a grand total of $2,070,520.44 after adding a $42,623.50 payment for a glass pulverizer and two ambulances to be paid on delivery (about $490,000 when delivered).

Treasurer/finance staff presented multiple budget transfers and four cash transfers, explaining that some occupational-license revenue lines were being moved into transfer lines and that mechanics of payment would shift from checks to cash transfers. The transfers included a reported $100,000 from the general fund to the jail and $400,000 from the general fund to EMS to help cover immediate needs. Finance staff described other transfers related to local corrections assistance and occupational taxes.

Magistrates moved to approve the bills and the transfers; the court approved the motions by voice vote. Judge (presiding) called for the ayes and the motions carried.

Why it matters: The transfers and approved bills include both operating costs and capital items (the ambulances), affecting county public-safety services and the fiscal year cash flow. The court also flagged an occupational-tax accounting change requested by the Department for Local Government (DLG), which will show that revenue in the budget for the first time.

What happens next: The county will execute the cash transfers and pay the listed invoices when due; ambulances are to be paid on delivery. The court approved minutes and routine motions tied to the packet at the meeting; further budget amendments were introduced later in the session.
