Magoffin County Fiscal Court approves payment of bills and adopts FY2020 budget amendments

Magoffin County Fiscal Court approved payment of outstanding bills, authorized appropriation transfers for fiscal year 2020, and completed a second reading and approval of budget amendments during its meeting, officials said.

The meeting opened with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. The court then moved quickly through business items. The chair introduced a request to pay bills and there were no objections; the court approved payment of those bills.

The court considered FY2020 appropriation transfers intended to ensure line items used the proper accounting codes across funds and to balance the books for the fiscal year. The chair asked for a motion to approve the transfers; the motion was seconded and the court carried the motion. The transcript does not identify who made the motion or second, nor does it record a roll-call tally.

The court then conducted a second reading of FY2020 fiscal court budget amendments. According to the chair, the amendments were unchanged from those presented at the prior meeting, had been advertised as required, and had been signed off by the state. A motion to approve the second reading was made and seconded and the chair indicated the motion passed; the record does not include a vote tally.

The meeting concluded without additional public comment recorded in the supplied transcript. The court did not state dollar amounts for the transfers or the budget amendments on the record segments provided; funding totals and vote tallies were not specified in the transcript.
