York County authorizes $201,274 from collected fines for local school districts
Summary
The York County Board authorized the treasurer to distribute $201,274.43 in collected fine proceeds (with interest) to local school districts, allocating amounts by pupil percentages; commissioners approved corrected spreadsheet figures and directed staff to sign the disbursement paperwork.
York County commissioners voted to authorize the county treasurer to distribute $201,274.43 in collected court fines and associated interest to area school districts.
The chair said the spreadsheet will be corrected before sign-off and read the per-district calculations: Sutton $230.45; Fillmore/Milligan $5,137.37; Hamilton $67.77; Polk Cross County $7,135.40; Polk High Plains $1,135.38; Seward Centennial $18,008.52; York Public $124,006.91; York McCool $15,006.28; York Hartland $33,007.33. Treasurer staff explained allocations follow the school board's percentage rules tied to student counts.
Commissioner [mover] moved to authorize the treasurer to disperse the funds from the inheritance tax fund; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call. The board directed staff to update the packet spreadsheet to reflect interest calculations before signatures are completed.
The funds come from fines collected through the county court process and are distributed to schools according to the formula the school board provides; county staff said they will have the corrected spreadsheets available for signatures following the meeting.
Next steps: the treasurer will finalize the spreadsheet and the chair will sign the disbursement paperwork so distributions can proceed.
