Meeting approves policy to route rebates, credits to auditor under Resolution 2025-9
Summary
Meeting participants approved a draft policy identified as Resolution 2025-9 requiring that rebates, in-store credits and similar payments be turned over to the auditor's office for accounting; officials clarified departments must provide receipts or documentation.
GIBSON COUNTY — Meeting participants approved a draft policy identified in the discussion as Resolution 2025-9 that requires rebates, store credit, and similar payments to be turned over to the auditor's office for proper accounting.
Speaker 3 presented a circulated draft and told participants the change "requires that any type of payment including in store credit rebates, etcetera, may be turned over to the auditor's office for proper accounting." Speaker 2 recommended approval and moved to adopt the resolution; the motion was handled by voice vote and accepted, with no recorded roll-call tally in the transcript.
During discussion, Speaker 2 asked whether departments such as the highway department could use rebates directly. The response clarified that departments must provide supporting documentation and receipts for such transactions before any funds could be treated outside the auditor's accounting process.
The measure was referred to in the discussion as Resolution 2025-9. Speakers also confirmed that electronic copies of relevant contract documents and approval notices would be circulated to affected departments and contractors once available.
The policy is intended to centralize accounting for small, nonstandard payments to ensure consistent treatment across departments. The meeting record does not show an exact vote tally; the transcript records only a voice approval.
