Fiscal court approves corrective transfers and authorizes $10,000 to cover senior center work

At its meeting, the Todd County fiscal court approved two corrective transfers and authorized short‑term funding to keep an ongoing senior center renovation on schedule. Treasurer Misty explained one transfer — $2,725 — moved funds into the judicial account and a second transfer of $59,000 corrected state deposits that had been placed into the general fund instead of an economic assistance account.

A motion to approve the transfers passed by voice vote. The court also reviewed accounts payable and approved the November financial statement without recorded opposition.

Separately, Judge Todd reported the senior center renovation is nearing completion but over budget because of unforeseen items, including state inspection requirements and termite damage to two windows. He asked the court to authorize $10,000 to pay contractors immediately; the judge said the project’s total overrun could be “somewhere around 50 or 60,000.” The court moved, seconded and approved the $10,000 supplemental payment by voice vote.

The judge said he will report back on expenditures as the project continues. No additional capital appropriation beyond the $10,000 authorization was approved at this meeting.
