Spencer County fiscal court adopts first reading of budget amendment ordinance
Summary
On Nov. 2 the Spencer County Fiscal Court approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 3, Amendment No. 1 to amend the 2020–2021 budget, documenting $1,428,851 in unbudgeted receipts and a set of expenditure adjustments across multiple funds.
The Spencer County Fiscal Court approved the first reading of "Budget Amendment Ordinance, Ordinance Relating to the Annual Budget and Amendment thereof" (Ordinance No. 3, Amendment No. 1) at its Nov. 2 meeting.
Esq. Brett Beaverson moved the first reading and Esq. Mike Moody seconded. The ordinance, provided to the court as Exhibit 4, shows an increase of $1,428,851.00 in receipts to incorporate unbudgeted items (including CARES funds and other reimbursements) and multiple expenditure adjustments across the General, Road, Jail and Federal Grants funds. Exhibit 4 enumerates account code changes and amounts, including increases to EMS salaries and medical equipment, new equipment for roads, and transfers between funds.
Why it matters: The amendment formally recognizes new revenue streams and reallocates spending authority so the county can draw down federal and state monies, pay for COVID‑19 related costs, and fund equipment and personnel changes the court approved.
What’s next: The document in the meeting packet indicates standard adoption steps after the first reading; the court recorded a unanimous vote to pass the first reading at this session.
