At its meeting the Van Buren County Quorum Court adopted several appropriation ordinances and routine business items by unanimous roll call.

Key votes at a glance:
• APERS reimbursement to County Roads: An appropriation ordinance sponsored by Nikki Brown placed $46,198.53 from the Arkansas Public Employees Retirement System into the County Roads line item (2000‑0200‑999). The motion to approve passed by roll call with all present voting yes.

• ARDOT right‑of‑way payments to County Roads: Justice Phillips sponsored an appropriation of $85,000 received from the Arkansas Department of Transportation to reimburse payments previously made to property owners for right‑of‑way acquisitions; the court adopted the ordinance on unanimous roll call. Court members clarified the county had already paid the property owners and is replacing County General funds with the ARDOT payment.

• Library petty cash: Mike Bradford sponsored a transfer of $100 from the library fund (3008‑600‑999) to establish a petty‑cash balance. Deborah, the Van Buren County Library director, told the court the library currently keeps $40 on hand, that auditors require documentation, and that formalizing $100 would ease daily operations. The ordinance passed unanimously.

• Routine business: The court approved the meeting agenda without changes and approved minutes and financials; both motions carried by voice or roll‑call with unanimous consent.

Why it matters: These votes adjust county line items to account for reimbursements, formalize a petty‑cash procedure for a county library, and finalize routine meeting business. All recorded roll‑call votes in the transcript show unanimous yes votes from the attending members.
