Owsley County treasurer reports $2.17 million across funds; court approves routine minutes and authorizes transfers
Summary
The county treasurer read ending balances totaling $2,174,611.35 across multiple funds. The body approved routine minutes and carried a motion authorizing transfers as needed; exact vote tallies and mover/second names were not specified in the transcript.
Unidentified Speaker 3 read the county's fiscal snapshot, reporting ending balances across funds and a total of $2,174,611.35.
"The ending balance for the general account is $412,873.17," Unidentified Speaker 3 said, and went on to list the "rogue" fund at $1,060,753.11, the opioid fund at $133,123.04 and the EK Safe Fund at $472,547.50, among others. The speaker closed the rundown by stating a total of all funds ending balance of $2,174,611.35.
The presiding speaker moved the meeting through routine business. A motion to approve the reading/approval of minutes was made and seconded; brief vocal responses followed and the presiding speaker stated the motion carried. Later in the meeting, the court also moved and seconded an authorization for transfers "as needed," which was carried according to the transcript. The meeting did not record names for movers or seconders, nor an itemized vote tally.
Votes at a glance
- Approval of minutes: outcome recorded as carried; mover/second and vote tally not specified in transcript. - Authorization for transfers (motion to transfer funds as needed): outcome recorded as carried; mover/second and vote tally not specified in transcript. - Adjournment: motion carried at close of meeting; mover/second and vote tally not specified in transcript.
Why it matters: The balances reported provide a snapshot of county liquidity and restricted funds (for example, opioid and land-acquisition accounts). The transfers authorization gives staff flexibility to move money between accounts as needed; the transcript does not record any specific planned transfers or amounts.
What was not specified: The transcript did not include named movers or seconders for the recorded motions, nor did it provide roll-call vote records or specific transfer amounts. The source or purpose of the line item labeled "rogue fund" was not explained in the record.
The meeting moved on to other agenda items and adjourned later that session.
