Summary
The Russell County fiscal board approved Ordinance 25-11, amending the FY25-26 budget to reflect $3,834,258.60 in additional receipts and appropriations across the general, jail, dispatch, airport and grants funds; the motion passed by voice vote.
The Russell County fiscal board on [date not specified] approved Ordinance 25-11, a fiscal-year 2025–26 budget amendment that increases revenues and appropriations across multiple county funds by a combined $3,834,258.60.
The ordinance, read into the record by a board presenter, lists unbudgeted receipts added to several funds including the general fund and the jail fund and specifies matching appropriations. Line items cited in the reading included increases of $340,329.03, $154,691.89 and $2,670,609.24 to general-fund receipts, adjustments to the jail and dispatch funds, and $166,960 entered in the grants fund; total amended appropriations were stated as $3,834,258.60.
Master Garner moved to accept the budget amendment; Manager Richardson seconded. The board voted by voice, with members answering “aye,” and the motion carried.
Because the adoption was taken by motion and voice vote, no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript. The ordinance language presented repeatedly referenced alignment with statutory requirements and stated that amounts adjusting revenue accounts are for governmental purposes only.
The board also addressed routine bookkeeping and implementation steps needed to post the amendments to the county’s accounting records. No member asked for an additional fiscal impact study before the vote; board members who spoke supported the amendment as necessary to account for the newly listed receipts and corresponding appropriations.
The board’s next procedural step for the fiscal amendment was not specified in the transcript.
