Estill County treasurer reports fund balances; officials note payoff of 2018 note
Summary
The county treasurer reported multiple fund balances and officials announced payoff of a note from July 2018 (approximately $483,000) that saved roughly $43,000; several other fund balances and program updates were presented.
At the meeting, the county presented a monthly financial overview and several budgetary figures. Speaker 1 reported the General Fund balance at $8,036,267 and other funds including $2,629,013 (described as 'Rogue funds'), LGEA at $12,051, Grants Fund $329,500, Emergency Services communication/pension appropriation $15,863, OPOA settlement fund $600,700, and a C self fund of $2,064,272.
Speaker 1 also announced that the county had paid off a note issued in July 2018, referencing an original balance of approximately $483,000 and stating the payoff saved about $43,000. The speaker asked the assembled officials to acknowledge staff for monitoring county finances and noted the fund scheduled to close later in the fiscal year (speaker estimated 'probably about October').
The transcript contains one figure presented for 'jail funds' that appears inconsistent with other amounts (a multi-trillion-scale number that is likely a transcription error). This article flags that number as unreliable in the transcript and treats the rest of the presented figures as reported by Speaker 1. No formal motion tied solely to these reported balances appears in the provided excerpt; the court moved on to other agenda items after the financial presentation.
Also announced were community-facing items: an upcoming CDL training coordinated with workforce development and recognition of local animal-shelter efforts that the transcript links to increased adoptions through social media outreach.
