The Wayne County Commission Committee on Ways and Means voted to approve a set of budget adjustments and revenue certifications affecting multiple county funds, approving items 1–2 and items 3–19 as read by staff.
Staff read a sequence of budget amendments that certified revenue and reallocated expenditures across the general fund, capital projects fund, special capital projects, general liability, victim witness program, HHS Nutrition Fund, county roads, county parks, drain maintenance fund and the retirement system. Examples included a $22,000 certification for Homeland Security to support increased hazardous mitigation plan costs and a transfer to support Alliant Assurance accounts in the general liability fund.
Philip Whitfield and other budget staff explained some amendments relieve deficits or certify funds for ongoing capital projects. Kyle Kaparu spoke to a reallocation inside the Well Wayne program. For most items the committee did not request further detail during the meeting; several items were read into the record together (items 6 through 18 were read as a block) and the committee reserved detailed follow‑up to departmental staff where needed.
Commissioner Anderson moved to approve the agenda items and the omnibus motion was supported by Commissioner Badoon. A roll call recorded affirmative votes from Commissioners Morecki, 'Comenity', Anderson, Vice Chair Baydew and Chair Kenlock; the motion carried. Commissioners Scott and Baker McCormick had requested to be excused earlier in the meeting and were recorded as absent.
The approval was procedural and allowed departments to proceed with the certified revenue and reallocated line items; staff will return with any outstanding year‑end audit items in January.
