The court approved routine minutes and accounts items, authorized budget transfers to cover near-term shortfalls, accepted a portion of Lewis Lane for county maintenance, approved a state bridge replacement grant agreement and passed Ordinance 25-4 (second reading) on street-legal special-purpose vehicles.
The Todd County Fiscal Court approved a set of routine motions and resolutions during its meeting.
Minutes and routine accounts: The court approved the prior meeting minutes and accepted the treasurer’s report after a motion and second; vocal approval was recorded with no opposition.
Budget transfers: The county approved transfers to move budget lines out of the red before the fiscal year closed. The treasurer said solid waste and dispatch each needed roughly $5,000, ambulance about $500, the road fund about $26,000, an additional $3,000 for solid waste and $13,000 for dispatch to carry operations through payroll and the next meeting.
Road maintenance: The court approved a resolution to accept a portion of Lewis Lane (about 1.2 miles near Lake Malone) into the county road maintenance program after a motion and second.
Bridge grant (Resolution 25-8): Members approved Resolution 25-8 and the accompanying agreement to accept a state city–county bridge replacement award for a Main Road bridge. The packet indicated an award of approximately $542,000; the court was told it would be responsible for any costs above the awarded amount.
Ordinance 25-4 (second reading): The court held the second reading and vote on Ordinance 25-4 concerning street-legal special-purpose vehicles. A roll-call procedure was used; respondents listed on the roll were recorded as voting yes and the second reading passed.
Other approvals: The court approved a purchase tied to a cornerstone quote in the packet and approved a settlement item as amended; motions were seconded and each passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
Next steps: Approved transfers will be processed to keep accounts solvent through payroll and the transition to the new fiscal period; the bridge agreement and related paperwork will be finalized with the state per the approved resolution.
