Owsley County officials review fund balances, discuss budget adjustments and transfers
Summary
Speakers reviewed multiple county fund balances, discussed a proposed budget amendment tied to pay adjustments and transfers, and outlined solid-waste billing follow-up; an appraisal request for properties was moved and recorded as approved for appraisal.
Speaker 3 (unidentified financial presenter) reported ending balances across county funds, saying, “The general account ending balance is $140,706,” and listing the Roth fund at $1,293,411.53, the jail fund at $11,303.11, LGA $1,775.97, solid waste $44,378.55, parts and rec $5,559.89, LGEDF $2,958.10, clerk storage $6,563.83, and the opioid fund at $109,175.52.
Speaker 1 (unidentified meeting participant) raised the need to amend the budget, noting last year pay adjustments—"50¢ full time, 25¢ part time"—and asked staff to correct full-time pay calculations. Speaker 1 also referenced an existing contract with "Stanley" related to the jail and said the proposed changes were the reason for the budget amendment request; no final budget amendment language or vote appears in the transcript.
On solid-waste matters, Speaker 3 and Speaker 5 explained billing timing problems: customers sometimes receive mail-queued bills that show amounts higher than they actually owe because payments crossed in the mail; Speaker 5 said receipts are printed and kept to reconcile disputes and that enforcement (pickup of delinquent accounts) is expected to begin next week.
Separately, Speaker 1 moved to obtain an appraisal for properties associated with "George Snapper" (described in the transcript as including an old field, a Chevy Albers parcel, and a small garage/car wash). Speaker 1 called for the motion, it was seconded, and Speaker 1 noted an affirmative response ("I'll first say aye"), indicating the board approved obtaining the appraisal; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally.
The meeting also noted planned budget transfers and Speaker 1 announced they would be absent for several days and intended to leave "JFW" in charge during that absence. The transcript records motions and seconds for procedural items but does not include full vote tallies for most motions.
