Ross County commissioners approve $5.18 million in weekly bills, advance $325,000 for law enforcement complex
Summary
The Ross County Commission approved $5,181,544.39 in weekly bills and multiple interfund transfers, including a $325,000 advance to the law enforcement complex pending grant reimbursement and smaller transfers for payroll, courthouse work and membership dues.
Ross County commissioners approved weekly bills totalling $5,181,544.39 and a series of interfund transfers at their meeting. Speaker 1 listed department totals, including a planning commission grant cited at $4,625,957 and juvenile detention costs; Speaker 4 moved to approve the bills and the motion passed with commissioners responding 'aye.'
The board approved several targeted transfers: a $1,402.60 reallocation between sheriff payroll and marine patrol accounts to rebalance benefits and salaries; a $2,000 payment to cover CTAO membership and conference fees for David Jeffers; and a $14,072.60 transfer linked to courthouse entrance scanner work and an airport fuel-management system. Commissioners also approved a $151,405.93 appropriation for 9-1-1 dispatchers and CCW staff.
Speaker 1 explained the commission will advance $325,000 from the general fund to the law enforcement complex to cover expenses that are expected to be reimbursed by a grant that has been awarded but not yet remitted. "We've got the grant for these dollars, and they just haven't been remitted," Speaker 4 said during discussion of the advance.
Separately, the auditor presented appropriations related to courthouse renovation ($1,218,000) and year-end holdover purchase orders ($100,000). Several transfers related to JFS manufactured-home rollbacks and loan settlements were approved, and a small $1,115 contract for professional software services was signed to update billing software.
The board recorded motions and aye votes for the listed appropriations and transfers. Specific individual vote tallies and named votes were not specified in the transcript.
