Treasurer seeks housekeeping appropriations and approval of audit contract; OHA amendment noted
Summary
Treasurer Melanie Lasley presented resolutions 2024-10 through 2024-14 to adjust appropriations using a higher-than-anticipated beginning fund balance and grant resources; she also requested approval of a Umpqua Valley Financial audit contract capped at $49,100, and staff presented an OHA Amendment #16 to roll unspent OSPTR funds into 2026.
Treasurer Melanie Lasley asked the Lake County Board of Commissioners on May 20 to approve housekeeping adjustments and routine contracts ahead of regular session.
Lasley said General Fund departments and several funds needed appropriation adjustments that could be covered by a higher-than-anticipated beginning fund balance and additional grant resources. The items were recorded as Resolutions 2024-10, 2024-11, 2024-12, 2024-13 and 2024-14 and will be considered in regular session.
Lasley also requested approval of an engagement letter and contract for audit services with Umpqua Valley Financial, noting the contract would not exceed $49,100. Commissioners' Assistant Tina Burneikis presented Amendment #16 to the Oregon Health Authority 2023–2025 intergovernmental agreement to roll unspent Opioid Settlement Prevention, Treatment and Recovery (OSPTR) funds into the 2026 award cycle.
Why it matters: Appropriations and audit contracts are routine budget-management items that enable fiscal oversight and compliance. Rolling unspent OSPTR funds preserves flexibility for future opioid-related prevention and recovery efforts.
What’s next: The board will consider the resolutions, the audit contract, and the OHA amendment in regular session.
