Committee approves vouchers; finance staff move back to Neighbors pending admin review
Summary
Committee members accepted year-to-date financial reports and vouchers; staff warned of a spreadsheet formula error affecting 2025 projections and said four finance FTEs could transfer to Neighbors pending review by the committee on administration.
Dunn County Neighbors committee members voted to accept the vouchers and the November financial reports at their Dec. 18 meeting.
Carmen, who presented the reports, asked members to ignore an incorrect projected total for 2025 caused by a spreadsheet formula error and summarized year-to-date figures through November: roughly $16 million in revenue, about $14 million in expenses and a net of approximately $1.728 million (just over $2 million without depreciation). She also reported agency-staffing year-to-date spending near $3.4 million and nursing-related actuals of about $8.8 million with a projected total near $10.8 million.
Supervisor Lyon moved to accept the vouchers and financial reports; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. Carmen said finalized year-end numbers will be available after December and again after the audit firm completes its review.
Carmen and Jenna described plans to decentralize some finance work and return program-specific finance staff to Neighbors beginning Jan. 1 if the committee on administration approves the transfers. Carmen said the move is intended to improve day-to-day workflow and resident-facing services: "We will have our finance staff back at the Neighbors...they will actually be on-site," she said. Jenna clarified the committee on administration will review the proposal and give the final approval.
No budget increases were expected because staff are already paid by the county and the transfers would reduce internal transfers rather than add FTEs.
