Madison County supervisors spent the bulk of a scheduled workshop reviewing department expenditure lines and raising questions about revenue accounting and maturing certificates of deposit.

The session included detailed line‑by‑line discussion of Buildings & Grounds items — custodial supplies, fuels, office supplies, LED lighting savings projections and potential mini‑split installations — where staff and supervisors negotiated modest adjustments. Staff noted an insurance payment shortfall on a recent roof repair and proposed using the department’s budget balance to cover remaining costs.

Treasury and revenue reporting drew sustained attention. County staff said several CDs had recently matured and at least one check from an expired CD had been found in a safe; the treasurer’s office said it would roll those funds back into interest‑bearing accounts and resolve recording discrepancies. Supervisors instructed staff (Emily and Terry were named as staff contacts) to reconcile the revenue lines and to pull historical reports for postage and other variable lines to refine projections.

Other departmental reviews included master gardener support, public health utility lines, and contract renewals. The board discussed a Waste Management garbage contract auto‑renewal clause that requires 90 days’ prior notice to cancel and suggested legal review before the next renewal window.

No formal budget votes were taken during the workshop. Multiple department heads agreed to return with clarified, documented line items for final budget decisions.

The board scheduled a follow‑up session for Friday at 1:00 p.m. to complete the remaining line‑by‑line work.
