Board approves minutes, financial reports and year-end transfers to balance grants
Summary
At the Dec. 2 meeting the board approved prior minutes, accepted financial reports and voted to approve staff‑proposed transfers intended to bring grant/project accounts near a zero balance; staff said DOC timing changes will soon provide a 25% advance.
The Grant County Community Corrections Board approved routine business items and authorized year‑end accounting transfers at its Dec. 2 meeting.
Judge Mark Spitzer opened the meeting and sought approval of the prior meeting minutes. "So moved," Judge MacVicar said; his motion was seconded by Mr. Tyson and the chair declared the motion carried.
Chris presented the financial reports and explained that historically the Department of Corrections (DOC) pays the final draw late, which has required the county to cover shortfalls. Chris said that starting next year the county will receive a 25% advance that "keeps us from running in the red." The board approved the financial reports on a motion by Mr. Ackerley, seconded by Chair Garcia.
Chris also asked the board to approve several transfers to move project income and program receipts into the community corrections accounts. He outlined transfers including: up to $5,000 from project income to community corrections, up to $101,000 from reentry court to project income, and other transfers intended to get the accounts close to a zero balance at year‑end. Judge Ackerley moved to approve the requested transfers; Judge Todd seconded and the motion carried by voice vote.
The meeting concluded with member reports and an adjournment motion that passed by voice vote.
