Summary
The Benton County Commission combined and approved four budget resolutions covering small line-item adjustments totaling $81,498.03 and separately approved a $10,257.16 appropriation from the Courtroom Security reserve (Resolution 0116-05). All votes were unanimous among those present.
The Benton County Commission on Jan. 22 combined and approved a set of budget resolutions and separately approved an appropriation for courtroom security.
Commissioner Jimmy Wiseman moved to combine Resolutions 0116-01, 0116-02, 0116-03 and 0116-04 for consideration, a motion that Commissioner Sonny Hall seconded and the commission approved on a voice vote. A subsequent motion to approve the combined resolutions (moved by Wiseman and seconded by Commissioner Darryl Hicks) passed on a voice vote. The four combined items budgeted line-item amounts of $585.00 (Animal Shelter), $198.70 (Library), $68,142.45 (Fund 178 – Capital Projects) and $12,571.88 (Sheriff’s Department), which together total $81,498.03.
Separately, the commission approved Resolution 0116-05, a motion by Commissioner Wiseman seconded by Commissioner Jerry Brandon, appropriating $10,257.16 from the Courtroom Security reserve. That motion passed on a roll-call vote with all present voting Aye.
The measures were handled as routine fiscal business on the consent portion of the agenda; no dissent or conditions were recorded in the minutes. The commission also approved a later resolution labeled 0116-06 on a voice vote; the transcript does not specify an associated dollar amount for 0116-06.
The commission’s approvals will be reflected in the county’s budget and fund ledgers and were recorded in the minutes certified by County Clerk Wanda Malin.
