Todd County commissioners approve budget transfers and $25,000 contingency for school resource officer

Todd County commissioners on a routine agenda approved a set of budget transfers and accepted the county’s August financial reconciliation, and they approved a $25,000 contingency to cover a school resource officer if funds from the local school district do not arrive.

During the meeting, a county finance presenter outlined multiple transfers that moved funds among line items, including transfers to the jail and to a federal grant line. Unidentified Speaker 3 moved to approve "these 3 sets of transfers" and called for a voice vote; the motion passed by voice vote.

Speaker 5 told commissioners that the August reconciliation (described as a 20‑page report) had been emailed to members and asked them to review the percentages of budget spent so far. Speaker 3 then moved "to approve the financial statement" and the accounts payable, and a voice vote was taken in favor.

Separately, Speaker 7 asked for approval to set aside $25,000 to cover payroll for a school resource officer "contingent upon not receiving our funds from the school." Speaker 3 moved to approve the contingency with that condition; the motion was approved by voice vote.

No roll‑call tallies were recorded in the public transcript. Meeting minutes should be consulted for precise vote records and the names of movers and seconders.

The meeting also included routine department reports and community announcements; the commissioners adjourned after completing the agenda.
