Board certifies closed session and approves $4.14M carryover appropriation
Summary
The Westmoreland Board certified its prior closed session as covering only listed items and approved a single motion to appropriate $4,135,124.90 in carryover funds into reserve accounts for planned projects.
In procedural business at the start of the meeting, the Westmoreland County Board of Supervisors approved two formal items.
First, after returning from closed session the board voted to read the meeting back into regular session and then approved a certification motion that the closed‑session discussion covered only items listed in the call and that no action was taken there. The certification motion was seconded and recorded verbally with Mr. Ingram, Mr. McCormick, Ms. Henson and the chair voting Aye; the chair declared the motion carried.
Later in the agenda, finance staff presented a carryover appropriation plan to move leftover FY amounts into a reserve account so projects can continue. Finance reported the general‑fund carryover amount proposed as $4,135,124.90. The chair asked for a single motion to approve the packet as presented; a motion and second were made and, after a voice vote, the chair announced the motion carried.
The appropriation motion was presented as a single omnibus approval covering multiple funds; the finance materials attached specific fund totals and line‑item exhibits. Board members indicated they would review the audit and appropriation documents in detail and contact the auditor or finance staff with questions.
The transcript includes no further detailed roll‑call tallies for the carryover appropriation beyond the recorded voice vote and individual aye calls for the certification motion; the official minutes or recorded vote file should be consulted for an exact roll‑call record.
