County officials reviewed the county’s October financial reports and approved a package of routine transfers during their meeting.

Albert, who presented the monthly finance report, said the county’s general‑fund budget stands at $142,817,128 and reported a general‑fund reserve balance of $9,821,005.30. Albert said the general‑fund ending cash balance was $14,107,174 and that the capital projects list had been shortened to reflect only active projects. He reported unallocated capital-project funds of $424,646.99 and noted a transfer on the agenda that, if approved, would raise unallocated funds to $689,646.99.

Clerk staff moved several standard budget items and the board approved them by voice vote. The board approved a transfer from salary to maintenance (item 39), a cash‑fund appropriation to employee benefits (item 41), and a transfer of $265,000 from the courthouse flood line back into unallocated funds (item 42), increasing the county’s unallocated balance as Albert had outlined. A $55,000 licensing purchase that had been budgeted in maintenance was reclassified to capital because it was a first‑time license buy for sheriff’s reserves.

The motions passed by voice vote; one vote on a salary‑to‑maintenance transfer recorded a single dissenting “No.” The clerk said the county’s FY‑24 ACPER (annual comprehensive financial report) had been submitted to Moody’s with staff optimistic about the outcome, given a recent GEO bond rating update.

The board did not vote on any new ongoing operational funding sources for facilities during this session. The meeting closed with routine board comments and adjournment.

The board’s actions on the transfers were procedural approvals of budget bookkeeping and reclassification; they do not by themselves change the county’s long‑term operating plans.
