County adopts year‑end FY24/25 budget cleanup resolution and Exhibit A reallocations
Summary
The commission approved a year‑end amendment to the FY2024/25 budget to reallocate existing funds among departmental line items; packet Exhibit A lists adjustments for multiple departments, including courthouse utilities, clerk offices, sheriff, EMS, solid waste, library, and water analysis.
The Board approved a resolution on Sept. 2, 2025, authorizing amendments to the FY2024/25 budget for year‑end cleanup. The county said the funds involved were already within the approved fiscal year and needed reallocation to match actual departmental expenditures.
The packet included 'Exhibit A,' which lists specific line‑item changes across departments. Examples in Exhibit A include adjustments to courthouse heat/lights/water, office supplies and personnel‑related line items in the clerk and probate offices, sheriff and EMS salary lines, solid waste disposal, library miscellaneous, and water analysis costs. The resolution cites O.C.G.A. § 36‑81‑3(d)(1) as the authority for amending the budget to adapt to changing needs during the budget period.
Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the year‑end cleanup amendment. County staff characterized this action as an accounting reallocation to close FY2024/25 rather than new spending authority.
