Washington County solid waste board approves encumbrances, transfers and retainage payments
Summary
The board approved encumbrances and a transfer related to repairs, capital outlays and equipment, and discussed a contractor retainage for unfinished work on a new landfill cell. Specific figures recorded in the meeting include transfers of $16,005.25 and encumbrances including $2,375, $23,003.45, $43,003.45 and $188,007.72 (retainage).
Speaker 3 presented a series of encumbrance requests and financial transfers for the solid waste budget and explained a retainage tied to unfinished work on a new landfill cell.
Speaker 3 listed the requested encumbrances, stating '$2,375 from repairs,' and multiple capital and equipment figures, including '$23,003.45 from equipment' and referencing '$188,007.72' as a retainage from Capital Outlays with an additional '$43,003.45 from equipment.' One item in the transcript was garbled ('$8.72 35 from Capital Outlays'); that line could not be reliably transcribed and is recorded as unclear in the meeting record.
Speaker 3 explained the retainage was related to a contractor who had not finished seating work and would need to return in spring to complete the block building. After the financial presentation, the board moved and seconded approval of the encumbrances and transfers; the motion was recorded as approved by voice.
The board also recorded a transfer of $16,005.25 'from personnel to other services and charges.' The transcript does not provide a roll-call vote tally or list of individual yes/no votes; approval was noted by assent during the meeting.
The board did not, in the provided transcript, attach ordinance or resolution numbers to these budget actions; they were handled as internal encumbrances and budget transfers within the solid waste fund.
