Fiscal Court approves deputy hire, standing orders and other routine finance actions
Summary
The court approved hiring a full-time deputy with a Sept. 10 start date, discussed a pay adjustment for an MRT position, and approved standing-order ACH payments and transfers after reviewing bills and a grant reclassification.
Ballard County Fiscal Court approved a set of routine personnel and finance actions, including the hire of a full-time deputy for the sheriff's office and authorization of recurring ACH payments for standing-order items.
Speaker 1 requested permission to hire a deputy and proposed a start date of Sept. 10. A motion to hire the deputy was made and seconded and the court approved the hiring. Speaker 1 also raised a pay adjustment for an MRT administrative/operational position; members moved and seconded that pay item.
On finance matters, Speaker 5 reviewed bills and transfers; a grant that had been ACH—posted to the general fund needs to be moved to the ambulance fund. Speaker 5 explained the new ability to pay selected standing-order and repetitive items by ACH to reduce administrative timing issues; the court approved the standing-order payments.
Why it matters: The actions affect staffing and ongoing county payments and are normal parts of court administration. The move to ACH for certain repetitive items is intended to improve timeliness and reduce delays.
What happens next: Personnel start dates and payroll changes will be implemented by county departments; finance staff will reclassify the grant to the ambulance fund and implement approved ACH payments.
