Van Buren County court approves small internal transfer for circuit court division
Summary
The court adopted an ordinance transferring $1,377.51 within the circuit court division 1 budget to cover an overdrawn bill; officials emphasized this is an internal transfer, not a new appropriation.
The Van Buren County court approved an ordinance introduced by Nikki Brown to transfer funds within the circuit court division 1 budget to cover a bill that exceeded a specific line item.
The ordinance text read in the meeting specified a transfer of $1,377.51 from line item 1000-402-1002 (salaries part time) to line item 1000-402-3094 (meals and 'large' per the transcript). Members discussed that the submitted bill had exceeded the budget line and that the transfer moves existing budgeted dollars rather than adding funds.
A speaker noted a submitted bill amount (entered in the record as $377.62 in one exchange), and meeting participants confirmed the transfer does not create a new appropriation and would not leave the division short because the salaries part-time line was not currently occupied. The transcript records that Judge Weaver was contacted about the matter earlier in the day for clarification.
The court approved the transfer by roll-call vote; the transcript records the adoption with a shorthand identifier transcribed as 'O 20 23 36.'
