Mason County Fiscal Court approves lease, interfund transfers and joins Ohio River recreation authority
Summary
The fiscal court approved Resolution 24-11 to finalize lease documents for two road vehicles, authorized multiple interfund transfers totaling more than $2.7 million in proposed moves between funds, and voted to join the Kentucky–Ohio River Regional Recreational Authority (CORA).
The Mason County Fiscal Court on Aug. 13 approved several financial and policy items, including a lease-financing resolution, a set of interfund transfers and a vote to participate in a regional recreational authority.
Judge McNeil presented Resolution 24-11, described as paperwork to finalize a lease for two road vehicles that the county had already received. "We've already received these vehicles, and they've already been paid for because they couldn't hold them long enough for the finalizing of the lease," Judge McNeil said before the court moved and approved the resolution on roll call.
On the budget front, the court gave first reading to Ordinance 24-06 (Budget Amendment No. 1), which recognizes a $1,000 "Bring Love Home" grant earmarked for the animal shelter. The court also approved Order 24Dash07 authorizing multiple interfund transfers, including the following transfers listed in the motion: general fund to jail fund $500,000; general fund to LGEA fund $450,000; general fund to solid waste fund $400,000; general fund to road fund $1,100,000; general fund to federal grants fund $150,000; general fund to state grants fund $50,000; general fund to landfill fund $100,000; general fund to garbage fund $400,000; and other smaller moves. The judge said the treasurer is authorized to effectuate those transfers.
The court also approved Resolution 24-10 to participate in the Kentucky–Ohio River Regional Recreational Authority (CORA), a 25-county effort to pursue state and federal funding for tourism and economic development along the Ohio River. Judge McNeil said CORA will function as a vehicle to pursue grants and partnership opportunities with neighboring counties.
Other routine approvals on the consent agenda included tax disbursements for July 2024 and routine departmental reports. All motions taken at the meeting were approved on roll call unless otherwise noted.
The court did not finalize the budget amendment (first reading) at this meeting; the ordinance was presented for first reading and interfund transfers were authorized per the motion. The fiscal court adjourned after completing the published agenda.
