Marion County court corrects fund posting and amends appropriation to draw from FEMA funds
A correction to county accounting and the source of road-repair money drew extended discussion at the Marion County Quorum Court.

Moderator (Speaker 3) read ordinances addressing a prior posting error that had placed Arkansas Game and Fish and FEMA reimbursements into the wrong fund. Speaker 6 described the situation as a "scrivener's error": money reimbursed for the Georgia's Creek (County Road 4052) project had been posted to the road fund instead of the tribal assistance fund and a court order had moved the funds back.

The court considered a separate request to appropriate $52,580 to repair a concrete slab on Marion County 8057 damaged during a spring disaster. Members questioned why the county would draw from the tribal-assistance fund for road repairs when road-department reserves and FEMA reimbursements might cover the cost. Speaker 4 pressed for the total balances and asked whether the road department should pay the expense; Speaker 6 replied that tribal funds are one-time and that the road department still has operational obligations.

After discussion, Speaker 4 moved to amend the ordinance so the appropriation would come from FEMA unappropriated funds rather than from the tribal-assistance fund; Speaker 5 seconded the motion. The court approved the amendment by voice vote.

The change was presented as a correction that preserves tribal one-time funds for their intended purpose while using reimbursed disaster dollars to pay immediate road-repair bills. The transcript records the amendment and a voice vote; no roll-call tally appears in the record.

Next steps noted in the meeting included updating ledger entries to reflect the corrected posting and proceeding with the slab repair appropriation under the FEMA funding amendment.
